Ever found that the key data you want is published in a text-based PDF journal?
We all have. But new approaches are solving it. That's why Content-Mining (aka text-and-data mining, TDM) is one of the most exciting areas in scientific data. It's even been intensively debated in the European Parliament and Commission. And the UK is leading the way with new exemptions from copyright so that Universities like Cambridge are the ideal places to learn and develop the new techniques.
The workshop will bring together:
We'll show how Open software can be used to
The first day will include overviews, installation of technology [1], and a panel of experts from the participants on policy and practice and a hands-on introduction. The second day will be a project-based hack where small groups will tackle their own communal problems. The event is sponsored by the EPSRC-IAA Knowledge Transfer Fund of the Chemistry Department. Facilitators are from Chemistry and Plant Sciences. Coffee, lunches and a Friday dinner are provided.
[1] all essential technology is Open and from contentmine.org, an Open project funded by the Shuttleworth Foundation.

This two day event is intended for researchers or research-related staff who are not currently heavily involved in text and data mining but have at least some pre-existing computational skills. At minimum we expect familiarity with a command line interface and basic coding abilities in some language.
