Content mining (also called text and data mining) means processing information in search of new information. To start content mining, some source material is required. Any digital document would do, but automated processing of documents is often restricted by copyright. However in 2014 the UK introduced the Hargreaves exception, stipulating that anyone in the UK with the right to read a document also has the right to mine it, overriding any copyright / jurisdictional restrictions. So Peter put together a team of people to take advantage of this, and to develop tools and software that could extract uncopyrightable factual data from research articles and share it without restriction to the world.
