SALARAHandbook

The Evidence

Research Library

The Handbook defines SALARA. The Research Library explains SALARA's concepts through focused articles, public evidence, and stable reference paths.

SALARA concepts

Chapter 6 introduces the concepts. The Research Library explores them.

These articles expand on the concepts introduced in Chapter 6 while preserving the Handbook as the canonical overview of SALARA.

SALARA concept articleAssertionsAssertions are the atomic governed units of Organizational Intelligence in SALARA.SALARA concept articleGovernanceGovernance is how SALARA decides what organizational knowledge may become trusted Organizational Intelligence.SALARA concept articleRuntimeRuntime is the SALARA layer that applies activated Organizational Intelligence to answer or guide requests.SALARA concept articleCompilationCompilation is the controlled transformation of approved Assertions into deterministic, deployable Organizational Intelligence.SALARA concept articlePublicationPublication is the controlled step that makes compiled Organizational Intelligence available for activation.SALARA concept articleActivationActivation selects a published Organizational Intelligence artifact for Runtime use in a defined context.SALARA concept articleKnowledge CI/CDKnowledge CI/CD is the governed path by which knowledge enters SALARA before it can become runtime-authoritative.SALARA concept articleOrganizational Intelligence CompilerThe Organizational Intelligence Compiler is the SALARA component that transforms approved Assertions into deterministic, versioned, deployable Organizational Intelligence.SALARA concept articleReplayReplay makes SALARA Runtime behavior inspectable by reconstructing what happened from recorded evidence.SALARA concept articleAcquisition ProvidersAcquisition Providers are the bounded interfaces SALARA uses to bring source material into the governed intake lifecycle.SALARA concept articleUniversal IntelligenceUniversal Intelligence is shared reference intelligence that can support multiple SALARA domains and organizations.

Canonical evidence objects

semantic search

Public sources only. The records are intentionally concise so Handbook chapters, topic search, and Knowledge CI/CD integrations can reuse the same evidence model.

Dense Passage Retrieval for Open-Domain Question Answering

Karpukhin and colleagues present dense passage retrieval as an approach to retrieving relevant passages for open-domain question answering.

What the source reports

  • The paper examines dense retrieval for question answering.
  • It separates retrieval of relevant passages from the later task of producing an answer.

Why it matters here

Chapter 4 distinguishes the valuable work of finding relevant information from deciding whether it is current, applicable, authorized, and reusable.

Guided Intelligence interpretation

The source does not endorse Guided Intelligence. It supports the chapter's careful distinction between retrieval capability and governed organizational understanding.
