Text and Data Mining (TDM) is the process of using computational techniques to extract valuable insights and patterns from large volumes of information. Organisations use TDM to gain competitive advantages and drive efficiencies by uncovering hidden trends and extracting valuable facts and concepts from text and data.

CLA’s TDM licence extension includes rights covering use of published content for TDM purposes. This does not cover the use of content in training or prompting Generative AI models. We already have over 150 participating publishers, and these new rights available to all UK businesses and public sector organisations.

What is text and data mining?

Text and data mining is the process of transforming unstructured content into a structured format to analyse, extract and identify meaningful information and insights. By using TDM, organisations can harness the power of vast volumes of information and data, capturing and revealing key concepts, trends, and hidden relationships. Organisations use TDM for market research, sentiment analysis, text classification and customer analysis.

This computational technique provides valuable information to organisations for studies and research and to aid decision-making.
