What this category of data looks like
Coal-electric integration policy and regulatory basis data primarily comes from specialized policy documents issued by the National Energy Administration and provincial energy authorities, industry standards formulated by the coal industry standardization technical committee, and internal compliance management documents of relevant central and state-owned enterprises. Data updates occur irregularly in line with adjustments to national and local coal-electric integration policies. Document structures mostly follow official document formats with formal document numbers, including fields such as issuing entity, effective date, clause number, and specific implementation requirements. Single-clause content is mostly structured legislative wording.
What constraints do these characteristics impose on the "citation sources and traceability" link
The formal document number and clause number attributes of coal-electric integration policy data require that the traceability link must accurately match specific clauses, to avoid traceability failure caused by vague matching. The compliance requirements of policy content mean that traceability results must clearly mark the issuing unit and effective date, and cannot only return vague source names. The irregular update rhythm requires that the traceability link must synchronize the latest version of policy documents in the knowledge base, to avoid citing expired old clauses. The structured clause structure requires that retrieved content must correspond to specific clause nodes, to ensure that the cited content is highly relevant to the query.
How to set the configuration
| Configuration Item | Recommended Approach | Basis for This Approach |
|---|---|---|
quoteMaxToken | 600–1000 token | Single clause content of coal-electric integration policies mostly falls within the 500-800 character range. This range can fully retain single-clause cited content and avoid truncation of key information |
responseData | Include answer and citations | Policy Q&A must provide both answers and traceability basis to meet mandatory requirements for compliance reviews of central and state-owned enterprises |
detail | Enabled | Policy document numbers, issuing units, effective dates and other metadata must be displayed to allow users to directly cross-check against the original text |
| Retrieval result upper limit | Top 4 entries | Coal power policies are highly relevant; a small number of accurate results can cover the query, avoiding excessive redundant content that disrupts reading |
| Citation format | Retain original structure | Official policy documents must retain original typesetting and clause numbers, in line with display specifications for compliance documents |
| FastGPT Version | v4.17.0 | This version optimizes the citation traceability function and adapts to metadata display requirements for official documents |
Three Common Misconfigurations
- Phenomenon: The returned answer is not associated with knowledge base content, and the citation source points to an irrelevant document or is empty. Cause: The
detailconfiguration is not enabled, and the system is not required to bind queries to specific policy clauses, resulting in failure of the traceability logic. - Phenomenon: Only cited content is displayed after configuration, and no query answer is generated. Cause:
responseDatais incorrectly set to only return cited data, and the answer generation logic is not enabled, deviating from the core requirement of policy Q&A. - Phenomenon: Cited content includes expired policy clauses. Cause: The knowledge base is not regularly synchronized with updated policy versions, and old data is still used, leading to compliance risks.
How to Confirm Proper Configuration
- Submit a test query with the input "approval process basis for coal-electric integration projects", and check whether the returned result includes clear traceability information such as policy document numbers and clause numbers.
- Check the system logs to confirm that the value of
quoteMaxTokenmatches the configuration, and there is no abnormal truncation of cited content. - Switch to different policy queries, and check that the number of retrieved results conforms to the configured upper limit, with no excessive irrelevant content disrupting reading.
- Temporarily disable the
detailconfiguration, verify that policy metadata is no longer displayed, and confirm that the configuration takes effect normally.
