1) The presentation discusses the need for text and data mining (TDM) tools to make sense of the vast amount of digital data and literature being produced. It notes there are over 1.8 billion websites and 3.46 billion internet users producing large amounts of data daily. 2) Similarly, the global research community produces around 2.5 million new scholarly articles per year, but much of this work is never read or cited. 3) The presentation proposes establishing an open TDM platform called "OpenMinted" that would allow researchers to discover, share, and reuse knowledge extracted from text-based sources through the use of shared TDM services and tools.
