7 years ago Some practical considerations:
- in some jurisdictions this might be unlawful
- even where it isn't this might open users up to the possibility of legal pressure from litigious publishers
- the number of papers is too large to fit in a single datasource using our current technology (though in future versions the scale of 10s of millions of entries will be possible and fast)
- the diversity of PDF sources makes it particularly hard to reverse engineer XML coherently
And as per #6, I note that we can't officially create or sanction something which might open us up to legal bullying.
Come on, we know you want to! ;)
Similar to some of the others, it'd require reverse engineering the text from PDF...
