Definitions:

  • Extraction - finding the value inside the catalogued instance and copying it as is.

    • Example: a book may be written in English and yet may not contain the word “English” at all, so defining the book’s language would be generation rather than extraction

    • Example: An abstract could both be generated or extracted, the latter is possible for a scientific articles which often contain abstracts

  • Generation - producing the value which might not be found inside the catalogued instance

  • Evaluation - measuring qualities of the value, which is either generated/extracted or existing or obtained with some other tools
