Citation Sources and Traceability for Solid Waste Treatment

What This Category of Data Looks Like

Solid waste treatment investment research data mainly comes from monthly/annual solid waste disposal ledgers published by local ecological environment departments, EIA approval reports, solid waste monitoring reports issued by third-party institutions, disposal technical standard documents released by industry associations, and regular financial reports of listed solid waste treatment enterprises. The update rhythm varies by source. Local public data updates quarterly or annually. Internal enterprise ledgers update daily or weekly. Industry standard documents are revised irregularly. Financial reports are released quarterly. Document structures include structured tables (such as disposal volume statistics, compliance inspection items, revenue details) and long-text chapters. Fields cover monitoring point number, disposal volume (unit: tons/cubic meters), disposal method, compliance judgment result, revenue proportion, etc. Some documents attach official document numbers and release times.

What Constraints Do These Characteristics Impose on the "Citation Sources and Traceability" Link

The multi-source nature and differing update rhythms of solid waste treatment investment research data require the traceability link to accurately record the original publishing entity and update time of the data. This avoids expired or non-official invalid information and ensures the credibility of financial investment research conclusions. The mixed document structure of structured tables and long text means traceability cannot only locate the entire document. It must accurately target specific table rows or paragraph fragments. This ensures the basis for investment research conclusions can be precisely verified. Additionally, solid waste treatment data involves compliance judgments and corporate financial information. The traceability link needs to associate technical standards, measured data, and financial report disclosures at the same time. This requires additional recording of metadata such as compliance document numbers, detection times, and financial report release cycles in documents. This ensures the completeness of traceability information and meets the compliance verification requirements of financial investment research.

Configuration Settings

Configuration Item	Recommended Value	Rationale
`enable_citation`	`true`	Solid waste treatment investment research requires clear compliance and financial basis for conclusions. The citation traceability function must be enabled
`citation_max_length`	`800-1200 characters`	Solid waste treatment documents mostly contain long text and table fragments. This value can capture precise citation content and avoid redundant information
`dataset_recall_topk`	`Top 6-8 entries`	Solid waste treatment data is scattered across multiple ledgers, reports, and financial reports. Sufficient recall volume can cover all required basis for relevant investment research
`parse_table_enable`	`true`	Solid waste treatment data contains a large number of structured disposal volume and financial tables. Enabling this option can parse table cells as independent traceability units
`citation_include_metadata`	`true`	Solid waste treatment investment research requires recording metadata such as monitoring time and financial report release cycles. This configuration includes metadata in traceability information
`PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`	`120 seconds`	Large-scale EIA reports and annual ledger documents take a long time to parse. Extending the timeout period can avoid parsing failures

The parameter values provided on this page are common recommendations for starting configuration setup. Actual values are affected by material form, data volume, and business rules. Specific issues require individual analysis. It is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing settings.

Three Common Errors

Issue: In FastGPT 4.9.4, setting enable_citation to false still results in citation fields being included in streaming response results. Cause: Backend inference logic has cached residual values that are not synchronized with front-end configurations, leading to configuration failure.
Issue: When calling the API with the detail: true parameter, it is impossible to parse both knowledge base call parameters and streaming returned traceability content at the same time. Cause: api_response_format is not correctly configured as stream_with_citation, leading to abnormal binding between parameter parsing and traceability logic.
Issue: The cited file name returned by the knowledge base does not match the actually uploaded document. Cause: No source_name metadata was filled when uploading the document, and traceability verification based on file hash was not enabled. This causes matching confusion for documents with the same name.

How to Confirm Proper Configuration

Upload a solid waste treatment ledger document with structured disposal volume tables, submit a targeted question, and check if the citation fields in the returned results include the document name, specific table rows, or paragraph positions.
Call the API with the detail: true parameter to submit a request, and check if the returned citations field contains complete traceability information and relevant call parameters.
Temporarily set enable_citation to false, submit the same question, and confirm that no citation-related fields appear in the returned results.
Upload two solid waste treatment documents with the same name but different content, and verify that the returned citation fields match the correct corresponding document content.
