RAG Attribution Links

Warning

Prerequisite: watsonx Orchestrate Software Requirement

This section will go over how to add source links for files within an Assistant. Though there are different methods in which source links can be created, this document will cover these methods:

• RAG attribution links via COS (Cloud Object Storage)

Access via COS (Cloud Object Storage)

1. In the appropriate Cloud Object Storage instance create a new “Custom Bucket”
2. Within the new bucket, navigate to the “Permissions” tab
3. Within the “Public Access” Section select “Content Reader” as the “Role for this bucket”
4. Select “Create access policy” to enable public access for the bucket
5. Upload the necessary documents which will be the source for the dedicated RAG Document Search

Note

Ensure the name of the sources are the same as the sources in the target data courpus/source (ie. COS, Watson Discovery, etc.)

Assistant Integration

Warning

Prerequisites: Ensure the necessary documents have been uploaded to the appropriate COS buckets here: Access via COS

Extract Source Links’ Base Url

1. Navigate to the COS bucket with all the designated source links for the RAG Document Search functionality.
2. On any of the documents click the three dots to the left and find the “Object public url”. May require to refresh the page if “Object public url” is not there.
3. Within the url extract and copy the first part of the link up till the first “/” (ex. “https://[domain].s3.us-south.cloud-object-storage.appdomain.cloud”)

Configure to existing metadata

There are two ways to retrieve source links from RAG Document Search demonstrated in these docs:

• watson Discovery
• watsonx Discovery

watsonx Discovery

1. Within the appropriate Assistant step concatenante the link value from step 3 to the RAG Document Search metatdata source url

2. Create source link variable with the expression value of:

   "[BASE URL LINK]" + ${step_[x]_result_1}.body.references[y].metadata.file_name

Note

• Replace “x” with the appropriate step number of the result of the watsonx discovery extension
• Replace “y” with either 0-3 to reference source file_name 1-3

Reference Example: "https://examplebucket.s3.us-south.cloud-object-storage.appdomain.cloud/" + ${step_001_result_1.body.references[0].file_name}

3. Optional: Insert source link variable in output for click=able links

watson Discovery

1. Within the appropriate Assistant step concatenante the link value from step 3 to the RAG Document Search metatdata source url

2. Create source link variable with the expression value of:

   "[BASE URL LINK]" + ${step_[x]_result_2}.body.results[0].metadata.source.url

Note

- Replace "x" with the appropriate step number of the result of the watsonx Discovery extension or choose from the appropriate step variables

Reference Example:"https://examplebucket.s3.us-south.cloud-object-storage.appdomain.cloud/" + ${step_001_result_2}.body.results[0].metatdata.source.url

3. Optional: Insert source link variable in output for click=able links
