Part 5/10:
- Handling Special Cases: In cases with redirects, categories, or non-article pages, content is skipped to maintain quality.
Structuring Data for Search and Retrieval
Once the raw article text is cleaned, the next step is to store it in a database—specifically an SQLite database for its simplicity and portability. The database schema includes fields like title, text, and id. The script creates indices on critical fields to optimize search performance, especially for larger datasets.
The process involves inserting each article into the database, ignoring duplicates to prevent redundancy. This way, Raven’s knowledge base grows iteratively with each run, with the capability to resume or restart without reprocessing the entire dataset.
