Requirements and Design Document Drafting for Data Security Classification and Grading: Document Parsing and Chunking

Data for this category originates from data asset inventory results, database metadata, business system description documents, and public regulatory

What This Category of Data Looks Like

Data for this category originates from data asset inventory results, database metadata, business system description documents, and public regulatory documents. Four standard document types are produced regularly: data catalogs, classification and grading rule tables, important data identification tables, and review minutes. Updates occur quarterly, or when the corresponding business system changes. Most documents pair structured tables with explanatory paragraphs. Common fields include asset number, sensitivity level, compliance basis, and responsible person. No unified fixed units apply; values adjust based on the specific asset type.

Constraints on Document Parsing and Chunking

Documents from multiple sources have mixed formats, including both structured tables and plain text paragraphs. Parsing engines must support multiple formats to preserve core compliance information. Quarterly updates and changes tied to business systems require parsing configurations to remain stable, avoiding frequent adjustments. Compliance fields in structured tables are mostly fixed items. Chunking must preserve full table integrity, preventing rule entries that span pages from being split apart. Review minutes are typically assembled from short paragraphs. Chunking must avoid splitting related review comments into separate blocks, which would break contextual connections for subsequent compliance reviews. This category covers full data assets excluding personal information. Parsing must accurately identify sensitivity level fields to prevent missing key compliance content.

How to Set Configurations

Configuration ItemRecommended ValueRationale
chunkSize800–1200 charactersMatches the paragraph length of rule entries and review minutes in this category of documents, avoiding splitting core compliance fields
chunkSplitterSeparate by paragraph + headingPreserves the hierarchical structure of classification and grading rules, avoiding breaking contextual connections in review minutes
customPdfParseEnabledAdapts to structured tables and mixed-format compliance documents for FastGPT v4.17.0, improving table parsing integrity
UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE1000 MBSupports batch import of quarterly data asset inventory files
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS600 secondsAddresses parsing time for large metadata export files
chunkSettingModeManual configurationCustomizes chunking rules to match compliance document structure for documents with fixed fields in this category

Three Common Configuration Errors

  • Symptom: After uploading a classification and grading rule PDF, the interface shows that the file content cannot be read. Cause: The customPdfParse configuration is not enabled. The default parsing engine cannot adapt to structured compliance tables.
  • Symptom: After configuring Feishu knowledge base sync, documents in PPT and PDF formats are not retrieved. Cause: Parsing permissions for the corresponding file types are not enabled in the knowledge base sync configuration, or the UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE setting is too small, blocking large files.
  • Symptom: After deploying the latest version of marker, logs show an OCR error. Cause: chunkSettingMode is not configured to adapt to OCR recognition for scanned compliance documents, or PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS is not adjusted to match parsing time.

How to Confirm Configurations Are Properly Set

  • Upload a typical classification and grading rule PDF, then check the parsed chunk preview to confirm that table structures are fully preserved and not split.
  • Verify the UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE configuration to ensure its value matches the maximum size of files currently scheduled for import.
  • After adjusting chunkSize, confirm that review minute paragraphs are fully retained within a single chunk.
  • Test uploading a quarterly data asset inventory file to confirm the parsing process does not trigger a timeout limit.

The values listed above are common starting points and should be evaluated against the reader's own samples.
