Steps in deriving knowledge from the biomedical literature and related application areas. This figure depicts the "funnel" of literature that occurs when a user seeks information and knowledge. The related information applications are shown to the right. The step of going from the entire literature to possibly relevant references is usually performed by an information retrieval system, whereas the step of identifying definitely relevant references and knowledge within them is the task of an information extraction system (or a person, since the state of information extraction is less developed than information retrieval).
