Text und Data Mining fuer Zwecke der wissenschaftlichen Forschung (Text and Data Mining for Scientific Research)

Reproductions for text and data mining are permitted for purposes of scientific research, without the machine-readable opt-out that limits the general exception, for research organisations (universities, research institutes or other bodies conducting scientific research that pursue no commercial purpose, reinvest all profits into scientific research, or act under a state-recognised public-interest mandate, but excluding an organisation under a private undertaking's determining influence with preferential access to the research results), for publicly accessible libraries and museums and for archives and film- or sound-heritage institutions, and for individual researchers pursuing no commercial purpose.

Those entitled who pursue no commercial purpose may make such reproductions available to a defined circle of persons for their joint scientific research, and to individual third parties to verify the quality of scientific research, but must end that availability once the joint research or the quality check is complete.

Entitled persons and organisations may retain the reproductions, with reasonable security precautions against unauthorised use, for as long as needed for scientific-research purposes or to verify research findings. Rightsholders may take necessary measures to prevent these reproductions from endangering the security and integrity of their networks and databases.
