What the data for this category looks like
Documents related to internal policy compliance originate from official documents released by the enterprise’s internal compliance management and business departments. Update cycles are triggered by adjustments to industry regulatory policies or changes to internal enterprise processes, with no fixed schedule. Supported document formats include PDF, Word, internally published HTML pages, and scanned copies. Most documents include structured metadata such as hierarchical chapters, clause numbers, effective dates, and issuing departments. Some documents have attachments such as compliance flowcharts and approval forms. Common fields include text identifiers, dates, and department names. Common units include chapter numbers, page numbers, and clause sequence numbers.
Constraints for Document Parsing and Chunking
Multiple source formats require the parsing engine to support text extraction for PDF, Word, HTML, and scanned documents. Hierarchical chapter structures require chunking to retain the original document’s title hierarchy, preventing semantic breaks in compliance clauses caused by cross-chapter concatenation. The lack of fixed update cycles requires the parsing process to support both incremental synchronization and full refresh modes. Some documents contain embedded images and attachments, so the parsing step must extract text from images and content from attached files. HTML-format internal policy documents often include non-core elements such as navigation bars and footers; these must be filtered out before core content extraction.
Configuration Settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
PARSE_HTML_IGNORE_SELECTOR | ".nav,.footer,.sidebar" | Removes non-core elements such as navigation, footers, and sidebars from HTML-format internal policy documents, ensuring only core compliance clause content is extracted |
CHUNK_SPLIT_BY_HEADING | Enabled | Splits chunks according to the document’s title hierarchy, retaining the chapter structure of internal policies to enable precise recall of corresponding compliance clauses |
MAX_CHUNK_SIZE | 800–1200 characters | Matches the typical length of single clauses in internal policies, avoiding overly fragmented chunks that cause context breaks, or overly long chunks that reduce recall accuracy |
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS | 120 seconds | Covers the parsing time requirements for long internal policy documents with multiple attachments, preventing parsing failures due to timeout |
ENABLE_IMAGE_OCR | Enabled | Extracts text content from embedded images such as compliance flowcharts and approval forms in internal policy documents, meeting the full recall requirements for compliance question answering |
UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE | 500 MB | Allows uploading internal policy documents with bulk attachments, adapting to the upload requirements of enterprise-level compliance documents |
The parameter values provided on this page are common starting points for configuration. Actual values are affected by material form, data volume, and business rules. Specific issues require case-by-case analysis. It is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing settings.
Three Common Misconfigurations
- Issue: After uploading an HTML-format internal policy document, the parsed result is empty or only contains a small amount of irrelevant text. Cause: The
PARSE_HTML_IGNORE_SELECTORconfiguration was not used to remove non-core elements, causing the parsing engine to capture irrelevant content such as page navigation and advertisements, and failing to identify the core content area. - Issue: After parsing a PDF-format internal policy document, chunked content is concatenated across chapters, resulting in multiple compliance clauses being merged. Cause: The
CHUNK_SPLIT_BY_HEADINGconfiguration was not enabled, and chunks were split only by fixed character length, breaking the original hierarchical structure of the document. - Issue: After uploading an internal policy document with embedded official seals or flowcharts, the text within the relevant images is not included in the recall scope. Cause: The
ENABLE_IMAGE_OCRconfiguration item was not enabled, so the image text extraction function was not activated.
How to Verify Correct Configuration
- Upload a single test HTML-format internal policy document, review the parsed text content to confirm that non-core elements such as navigation bars and footers have been removed.
- Upload a long document for testing, confirm that chunked results are split according to the title hierarchy, with no cross-chapter concatenation.
- Upload a PDF document containing embedded flowcharts and official seals, confirm that the parsed result includes text content from the images.
- Upload a single-chapter document that exceeds the preset
MAX_CHUNK_SIZElimit, confirm that the parsed chunks meet the configured length requirements.
