[GOAL] Blog: "Next steps for Text & Data Mining"

[Dr D.A. Kingsley]

<Apologies for cross posting>

Dear all,

I have just posted a blog describing a recent symposium held at Cambridge on Text and Data Mining. https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=1505

Excerpts:


Sometimes the best way to find a solution is to just get the different stakeholders talking to each other – and this what happened at a recent Text and Data Mining symposium<https://www.training.cam.ac.uk/osc/event/2194607> held in the Engineering Department at Cambridge. The attendees were primarily postgraduate students and early career researchers, but senior researchers, administrative staff, librarians and publishers were also represented in the audience. This symposium grew out of a discussion held earlier this year at Cambridge to consider the issue of TDM and what a TDM library service might look like at Cambridge. <snip>

The day concluded with the group reconvening together for a roundtable (which was filmed<https://youtu.be/RyMkBMKs3hE>) to discuss the broader issue of why there is not more TDM happening in the UK. <snip>

What was clear was something I have repeatedly observed over the past few years – that the players in this space including librarians, researchers and publishers, have very little idea of how the others work and their needs. I have actually heard people say: ‘If only they understood…’ </snip>

Regards,

Danny
