What the data for this category looks like
Data related to building construction investment research mainly comes from engineering construction standards and specifications issued by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, project bidding documents, construction drawing design materials, technical manuals from material suppliers, and on-site construction logs. Update rhythms vary by document type: national standards are revised every 2 to 3 years, project-specific documents are updated alongside construction cycles, and material parameter manuals are updated quarterly. Most document structures include standard clauses, parameter tables, and construction node descriptions. Core fields include project number, material model, and specification document number. Common units include square meters, cubic meters, tons, and other engineering measurement units.
What constraints do these characteristics impose on the citation source and traceability link?
The multi-source and decentralized nature of building construction investment research data requires the traceability system to simultaneously associate national standard document numbers, project-specific numbers, and material manual batch numbers to avoid confusion of similar data from different sources. The varying update rhythms of different documents require traceability information to include version identifiers, ensuring cited content matches the currently valid version. Engineering documents often contain long-text parameter tables. After segmented retrieval, the specific page number or paragraph range of the original text must be accurately located to avoid traceability deviation. The existence of dedicated measurement fields requires traceability fields to support associated annotations for non-standard units such as square meters and cubic meters, ensuring the accuracy of cited information in engineering scenarios.
How to set the configuration
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
cite_enable | Yes | Building construction investment research requires clear citation sources. Enabling this allows associating knowledge base entries in conversation outputs. |
cite_max_count | Top 10 entries | Building engineering data is often linked to multiple standards or project documents. Limiting the number of recalled entries avoids citation redundancy while covering core reference sources. |
chunk_size | 800–1200 characters | Building engineering documents often contain long parameter tables and clauses. This segment length preserves complete engineering parameter context and improves traceability accuracy. |
cite_version_enable | Yes | National standards for building engineering are revised regularly. Enabling version recording ensures cited content matches the currently valid version. |
cite_field_map | Calibrated via actual testing | Building engineering fields include dedicated identifiers such as project numbers and specification document numbers. The knowledge base’s custom fields and traceability display fields need to be mapped. |
api_cite_return | Enabled | Citation IDs need to be returned via the conversation interface to meet traceability requirements for engineers integrating with external systems. |
The parameter values provided on this page are conventional recommendations used as a starting point for configuration. Actual values are affected by material forms, 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
- Symptom: Garbled end-of-sentence citation marks appear in conversation outputs, with the final output changing to standard quotation marks. Cause: The
cite_formatparameter is not configured correctly, causing the escape logic for citation symbols to conflict with special characters in engineering documents. - Symptom: Citation information for knowledge base entries is still returned when the query exceeds the coverage scope of the knowledge base. Cause: The
rag_strict_modeconfiguration item is not enabled, causing the system to generate associated citations even when no matching knowledge base content is found, which does not meet the rigor requirements of investment research scenarios. - Symptom: The conversation request interface does not return the citation ID in the
citefield. Cause: Theapi_cite_returnconfiguration item is not enabled, or the parameters for returning citation information are not correctly configured during interface calls, resulting in traceability data not being included in the interface response.
How to Confirm Proper Configuration
- Initiate a query containing building construction engineering-specific terminology, check that the citation format at the end of the conversation output follows preset rules, with no garbled characters or symbol errors.
- Initiate a query that exceeds the coverage scope of the knowledge base, verify that no citation information for knowledge base entries appears in the output, meeting the rigor requirements of investment research scenarios.
- Call the conversation interface, check that the response body includes the
citefield and its corresponding citation ID, confirming that traceability data has been correctly returned. - View the knowledge base retrieval log, confirm that the segmented traceability information is associated with correct document page numbers, specification document numbers, project numbers, and other dedicated fields.
