Article L122-5-3.I defines text and data mining as implementing an automated analysis technique on digital text and data to extract information such as patterns, trends, and correlations, for the purposes of Article L122-5's 10° exception.
Paragraph II lets research organizations, public-access libraries, museums, archives, and film, audiovisual, or sound heritage institutions, or others acting on their behalf and at their request including under a nonprofit partnership with private actors, reproduce a lawfully accessed work for text and data mining carried out solely for scientific research, without the author's authorization.
Paragraph III separately lets any person reproduce a lawfully accessed work for text and data mining regardless of its purpose, unless the author has appropriately objected, including by machine-readable means, for content made available online. An indexing or training use that respects a rightholder's machine-readable opt-out under paragraph III falls outside the exception and requires authorization.
