"Carl Malamud is one of Techdirt's heroes. We've been writing about his
campaign to liberate US government documents and information for over
ten years now. The journal Nature has a report on a new project of his,
which is in quite a different field: academic knowledge. The idea will
be familiar to readers of this site: to carry out text and data mining
(TDM) on millions of academic articles, in order to discover new
knowledge. It's a proven technique with huge potential to produce
important discoveries. That raises the obvious question: if large-scale
TDM of academic papers is so powerful, why hasn't it been done before?
The answer, as is so often the case, is that copyright gets in the way."
