Text and Data Mining (TDM) as a technological option is usually leveraged upon by large libraries worldwide in the technologically enhanced processes of webharvesting and web-archiving with the aim to collect, download, archive, and preserve content and works that are found available on the Internet. TDM is used to index, analyze, evaluate and interpret mass quantities of works including texts, sounds, images or data through an automated "tracking and pulling" process of online material. Access to the web content and works available online are subject to restrictions by legislation, especially to laws pertaining to Copyright, Industrial Property Rights and Data Privacy. As far as Data Privacy is concerned, the application of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is considered as an issue of vital importance for the smooth operation of TDM service offered by national libraries mostly in the EU Member States, which among other requirements mandates the adoption of privacy-by-design and advanced security techniques. This article focuses on the TDM deployed by National Library of Greece (NLG) and considerations for applied Internet Security solutions taking into account GDPR requirements. NLG has deployed TDM as of February 2017 in consideration of the provision of art.4(4)(b) of Law 4452/2017, as well as of the provisions of Regulation 2016/679/EU (GDPR). Art.4(4)(b) of law 4452/2017 sets the TDM activity in Greece under the responsibility of NLG, appointed as the organization to undertake, allocate and coordinate the action of archiving the Hellenic web, i.e. as the organization responsible for text and data analysis at national level in Greece. The deployment of TDM by NLG, presented by the authors, caters for a framework of technical and legal considerations, so that the electronic service enabled based on the TDM operation complies with the data protection requirements set by the new EU legislation. While the presentation elaborates upon minimum set of technical Internet Security means considered by NLG for achieving GDPR compliance, the paper (to-bepublished) focuses on TDM and GDPR issues specifically in relation to art.89 of GDPR titled "Safeguards and derogations relating to processing for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes" that is a key-tern ruling for the operation of NLG in compliance with GDPR.

The application of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) regarding the operation of websites is considered of vital importance, especially to organizations within the European Union. GDPR is a useful tool, which, among other requirements, mandates the adoption of privacy-by-design and advanced IT security mechanisms in place. Considering its requirements, this paper analyses their implementation with regard to applied Internet Security solutions for the websites of the Greek Libraries Network of the National Library of Greece. While the GDPR offers a minimum set of technical Internet Security means to be taken into consideration by companies and organizations Europe-wide to achieve GDPR compliance, hereby we aim to highlight the adaptation of strong and proper security mechanisms that will not only set libraries-members of the Greek Libraries Network of the National Library of Greece compliant with GDPR, but also maintain them strong and secure against most threats targeting websites to both internal and external cyber security threats.

The application of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is considered an issue of vital importance for the smooth operation of IT infrastructures, especially for companies in EU Member States. GDPR is a useful tool, which, among other requirements, mandates the adoption of privacy-by-design and advanced security techniques. Taking into account its requirements, this article analyses their implementation with regard to applied Internet Security solutions. While the Regulation offers a minimum set of technical Internet Security means to be taken into consideration by companies and organizations to achieve GDPR compliance, the current paper aims to highlight the adaptation of strong security mechanisms that will not only set companies compliant with GDPR, but also maintain them strong and secure against most threats.

A conference paper on the development of the Hellenic National Audiovisual Archive (HeNAA) as a Digital Library (DL) in relation to the use peer-to-peer (P2P) computer file sharing is presented. It says that the architecture of HeNAA digital library relies heavily on P2P. However, it says that P2P is seen by Copyright holders as detrimental for their individual business interests. It also asserts that legislations should be passed which consider the importance of the noncommercial role of P2P.
