JS PD Knowledge Base

This wiki is the synthesis layer above the canonical by-photo corpus.

The 447 by-photo Markdown files in data/processed/markdown/by-photo/ remain the source of truth. KB pages here make the corpus easier to navigate without summarising away source-level detail. See Build Note for build rules.

Sections

Eighteen sections cluster all 447 sources by nav_path topology. Each section page lists its sources grouped by nav-path root.

Topic Pages (synthesis)

Topic pages contain narrative synthesis built up from sources. The pilot covers GBA-PD only; new topics are seeded from templates/topic.md and should keep source links next to every claim.

topics/by-nav/ holds 154 generated per-nav-root indexes (one per first-level nav_path value). Use those when you know the exact Word navigation heading; use the section pages above when you want a topic-cluster view.

KB Rules

  • Do not replace the by-photo corpus.
  • Keep concrete source links near every claim that matters.
  • Prefer small topic pages over one large summary.
  • Record uncertainty as uncertainty, especially when the source page has Uncertain Spans.
  • Use wiki links ([[…]]) for cross-page navigation and Markdown links for exact evidence files.
