These are the mental frameworks to use when distilling a source into wiki pages.
Knowledge Extraction Frame
When reading a source document, ask yourself:
-
What are the 3-5 most important ideas in this document? These become concepts pages or updates to existing concept pages.
-
Who or what is mentioned that deserves its own page? People, tools, organizations, projects → entity pages.
-
What does this document teach you how to do? Procedures, workflows, techniques → skills pages.
-
What claims does this document make? Each claim needs a source attribution. If it contradicts an existing wiki claim, note the contradiction.
-
How does this connect to what the wiki already knows? This is the most important question. The value of the wiki compounds through connections.
Synthesis Frame
When a new source covers ground that existing pages already cover:
- Don't duplicate — synthesize
- If the new source agrees with existing content, strengthen the claims with additional attribution
- If it disagrees, create an "Open Questions" or "Debate" section noting both positions
- If it adds nuance, weave it into the existing narrative
Cross-Reference Discovery
After extracting knowledge, look for these connection patterns:
- Is-a: "Transformers are a type of neural network" → link from transformer page to neural-network page
- Uses: "RLHF uses reward models" → link from RLHF to reward-models
- Contrasts-with: "CNNs vs. Transformers for vision" → mutual links
- Part-of: "Attention is a component of transformers" → link from attention to transformers
- Created-by: "Transformers were introduced by Vaswani et al." → link to entity page
- Applied-in: "Transformers are used in GPT" → link from transformers to GPT
