Sources and documents
Adding a page for Blogged to read, uploading a private document, and the difference between the two.
A source is where a fact came from. There are exactly two kinds, and the difference matters more than it looks.
- web
A page anyone can open. A fact drawn from it can be cited in a published post, because a reader can follow the link.
- upload
A document you handed over: a deck, a brief, an internal one pager. It has no public address, so a fact drawn from it is never emitted as a citation.
Records written before uploads existed are read as web.
Adding a web source
Give the URL. Blogged reads the page, classifies what kind of page it is, and extracts facts with the method the page supports: structured data if it is there, the page's markup if not, and a model reading it as a last resort.
Reading is bounded. An initial ingest for an entity has a page budget, and a refresh has a smaller one, so pointing Blogged at a large site does not turn into an unbounded crawl.
Uploading a document
Upload it in the Knowledge workspace or during onboarding. It becomes an
upload source. Facts extracted from it inform every draft and appear in none
of them as a link.
Removing a source
Removing a source removes the facts that depend on it from future work. Posts already published keep what they said.
