Research on UK Copyright Exceptions to Data Mining from Library’s Perspective

Abstract

Abstract:

Data mining is an important method of scientific research in the big data era. Britain’s newly revised copyright law provides copyright exceptions to data mining, stipulating the subject, the purpose, the form and the treatment of the mining results when the exception applies, which covers the complete
process of data mining in line with the requirements of “three-step test”. Chinese library community should strengthen research, and respond to the publishers’ policy trends about data mining actively, and promote the improvement of domestic legislation.

Key words: Data mining, Text and data mining, Copyright, Exception, Library
