The outcome
Build a reproducible research dataset from selected web pages with controlled freshness and traceability.
Step by step
A workflow you can repeat.
- 01
Search broadly enough to find candidate sources, then deduplicate canonical URLs and apply ownership, authority, date, and license criteria.
- 02
Retrieve contents only for the curated URL set and request the smallest necessary form: highlights, text, or summary.
- 03
Treat page text as untrusted data, strip prompt-like instructions, detect sensitive content, and retain source-to-chunk lineage.
- 04
Compare cached and live results where freshness matters, handling retrieval status, partial failures, timeouts, and changing pages.
- 05
Store approved snapshots with retrieval time and configuration, then require citation-backed review before publishing conclusions.
Working standard
What good use looks like.
- Curate before fetching full text.
- Treat web content as untrusted input.
- Version source snapshots and retrieval settings.
