RIB is derived from the control plane, it is not used for forwarding. Every protocol such as OSPF, EIGRP, BGP has its own RIB and select their best candidates to try to install to global RIB so that it can then be selected for forwarding. If this is implemented through totally separate RIBs or one big RIB with partitions I am not aware of.
FIB is used for forwarding, like Erick explained the information is derived from the RIB and from adjacency tables so that the packet can be rewritten with the correct encapsulation.
