This paper provides an introduction and overview of literature based discovery (LBD) in the biomedical domain. The reader will be capable of distinguishing between recent LBD systems and publications, and be capable of designing an LBD system for a specific application.This paper describes a unifying framework for LBD systems. Within this framework, different models and methods are presented to both distinguish and show overlap between systems. Topics include term and document representation, system components, and an overview of models including co-occurrence models, semantic models, and distributional models. Topics are presented from a high level perspective. References are given if more detailed analysis is required.
