A Folder of Docs Is Not a Knowledge Base
A document folder does not create a reliable knowledge base. Effective knowledge management requires systems that track sources.
Many engineers overlook the risks of treating a document folder as a knowledge base. This method operates on similarity retrieval rather than querying the content of documents. Consequently, the information obtained may be unreliable, and the inability to trace sources renders the knowledge base untrustworthy. To build a proper knowledge base, it is essential to convert sources into atomic, sourced claims while preserving their provenance.
