1. Overview
This Text and Data Mining (TDM) Policy explains how automated systems—including AI models, crawlers, scrapers, and research tools—may access, analyze, or extract information from Sipylus websites and services.
Sipylus uses the W3C TDM Reservation Protocol (TDMRep) to declare its mining permissions.
2. Reservation Status
Sipylus currently declares: tdm-reservation: 1
This means:
* Text and data mining is reserved.
* Automated agents may not mine Sipylus content without explicit permission.
* All agents must check the .well-known/tdmrep.json file before performing any mining activity.
3. Scope
This policy applies to:
* sipylus.com
* all subdomains
* all Sipylus‑owned domains
* all future domains under the Sipylus ecosystem
* all published content, documentation, and media
* all machine‑readable metadata, including ISCC identifiers
4. Prohibited Activities
Under the reservation flag, the following are not permitted without written authorization:
* AI training on Sipylus content
* Dataset creation or extraction
* Large‑scale scraping or automated harvesting
* Mining user‑generated or personal data (see Privacy Policy, GDPR)
* Mining for commercial or derivative works
* Mining via proxies, VPNs, or anonymizing tools to bypass restrictions (see Proxy Policy)
* Circumventing rate limits, authentication, or access controls (see Security Policy)
5. Limited Permitted Use
The following may be allowed only with prior approval:
* Non‑commercial academic research
* Indexing for interoperability
* Search engine indexing that respects robots.txt and rate limits
* Accessibility‑related automated tools
All permitted use must comply with:
* Terms of Use
* Cookie Policy
* Security Policy
* Privacy Policy
* Artificial Intelligence Policy
6. Licensing Requests
Organizations seeking permission for TDM must submit a request including:
* Organization name
* Purpose of mining
* Data categories requested
* Expected volume and frequency
* Retention period
* Whether results will be public, private, or commercial
Requests may be submitted through the channels listed in the Disclosure Policy and Security Policy.
7. ISCC Identifiers
Sipylus may attach ISCC (International Standard Content Code) identifiers to content to support:
* provenance
* version tracking
* rights management
* automated compliance
These identifiers appear in the TDMRep file and may be used by compliant agents.
8. Updates
Sipylus may update this policy at any time.
Changes will be reflected on this page and in the .well-known/tdmrep.json file.
