Semantic chunking divides documents into meaningful segments that can be independently quoted by LLMs. Each chunk should contain 100-150 words and represent a coherent concept. This structure helps AI systems extract precise citations rather than vague references to entire documents.
| Unit | Characteristic | Citation Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Chunk | Independently quotable | High precision |
| Section | Topically coherent | Contextual clarity |
| Paragraph | Single concept | Exact attribution |
