Creating a Vector Database of Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

• Is it legally safe?

  • Limited Electronic Distribution Rights.

  • A User may electronically distribute an SEP entry to computers and mobile devices that are owned and controlled by the User.

  • A User may electronically distribute an SEP entry to others only for private electronic correspondence. This includes communications between the User and an individual, and communications, postings or file-sharing to closed, invitation-only groups of individuals with no archives publicly available, provided that the group consists of no greater than 30 individuals.

    • I think this might apply to us. If we want to quote the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, we need to include the Private.icon.

  • A User may electronically distribute a link to an SEP entry.

  • No other electronic distribution rights are granted.

• Is it okay to create a Vector Database?
• Where is the data located?
  • Should we scrape it?
• Reading everything carefully in terms of volume and language is heavy, but I think the information would be very valuable to me.
  • I want to have an LLM read this and explain the connections.
