Article 21A permits a research organisation or cultural-heritage institution to reproduce a work or other protected subject matter it lawfully accesses for the purpose of text and data mining for scientific research, without a rightholder opt-out, and any contrary contractual term is void.
Article 21B gives anyone else the same reproduction and extraction permission over lawfully accessible works and other material for the purpose of text and data mining, but only where the rightholder has not expressly reserved that use in an appropriate manner, such as machine-readable means for content made publicly available online; copies made under either article may be retained only as long as the mining purpose requires.
