Outcomes of the FutureTDM Project
What have we learned?
Text and data mining – using algorithms to analyse content in ways that would be impossible for humans – is shaping up to be` a vital research tool of the 21st century. But Europe lags behind other parts of the world in adopting these new technologies. The FutureTDM project has spent the last two years investigating what’s holding Europe back. We’ve met with stakeholders and experts from all over Europe, gathering input and carrying out our own research to understand how Europe can take steps to support the uptake of TDM. The potential benefits – and risks – are huge. Our economic analysis estimates that TDM technologies could have an impact of as much as USD 110 billion on the European economy by 2020. If we don’t ensure that Europe is ready to foster and support the use of TDM, we risk seeing talent and economic benefits go elsewhere.

FutureTDM Knowledge Base showcases structured collections of resources on Text and Data Mining (TDM) that has been gathered throughout the FutureTDM project phase. The collections encompass experts as projects or organisations focusing on TDM, as well as technologies and resources that are useful for TDM practitioners (i.e. TDM methods and TDM tools). We hope that these collections will represent a reference point for researchers, practitioners and any stakeholder interested in the field who are seeking for general collection of relevant resorces.
