The workshop Leveraging Derived Text Formats to Unlock Copyrighted Collections for Open Science will be held at the Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC 2026). Derived Text Formats (DTF), also known as extracted features, offer a promising solution for enabling research on textual data that cannot be shared in its original form due to copyright or privacy restrictions. This workshop brings together researchers, legal experts, and infrastructure providers to explore the creation, standardization, legal framing, and scientific use of derived data in linguistics, digital humanities, and language technology.
