In a recent investment report, analyst Claudio Aspesi concluded that a
new front had opened up in the Open Access (OA) debate. Writing in
April, Aspesi noted that academics are “increasingly protesting the
limitations to the usage of the information and data contained in the
articles published through subscription models, and — in particular —
to the practice of text mining articles.”  Aspesi is right, and a
central figure in this battleground is University of Cambridge chemist
Peter Murray-Rust. A long-time advocate for open data, Murray-Rust is
now spearheading an initiative to draft a “Content Mining
Declaration”. What is the background to this?
