Content Extraction & Processing Strategy

JSON Processing Workflow:

For each JSON file:
1. **Extract Metadata:**
   - Title
   - Publication date
   - Category tags
   - Related content
 
2. **Process HTML Content:**
   - Convert to clean markdown
   - Extract key sections
   - Identify actionable insights
   - Parse case study elements
 
3. **Categorize Content:**
   - Case study elements
   - Educational sections
   - Implementation guidance
   - Resource links
 
4. **Apply Toolkit Templates:**
   - Use appropriate template (playbook/case study)
   - Structure content according to toolkit standards
   - Add cross-references and tags
   - Include source attribution

Content Quality Standards:

  • Attribution: Always credit original ReFi DAO blog posts
  • Updates: Note content dates and update recommendations
  • Links: Verify and update external links
  • Context: Add current relevance and implementation notes
  • Cross-Reference: Link to related toolkit content
