*In a recent **investment report*<http://cdn.anonfiles.com/1334923359479.pdf>
*, analyst **Claudio
Aspesi*<http://poynder.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/scholarly-publishing-where-is-plan-b.html>
* concluded that a new front had opened up in the Open Access
(**OA*<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access>
*) 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* <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Murray-Rust>*. A long-time
advocate for open data, Murray-Rust is now spearheading an initiative to
draft a “**Content Mining
Declaration*<http://blog.okfn.org/2012/06/01/the-right-to-read-is-the-right-to-mine/>
*”. What is the background to this?*
