Text & Data Mining

Large collections of texts are systematically searched and analyzed to identify unknown, overlapping patterns and relations (dependency chains) (e.g., in computational linguistics, biomedicine, or bioinformatics).

Systematic and continuous querying and downloading of licensed content (text and/or data extraction) is usually considered unauthorized use by providers. Publishers control access frequencies and block access in such cases for individual addresses or the entire UZH IP range. This also applies if the provider does not publish an explicit limit on downloads on its website or in the user contract.

For text and data mining, an additional, paid license is usually required – usually connected to a special access permit (API).

We are happy to help you further if such a permit is needed. Please contact us at the earliest possible stage.
