Curation

What a curator decided about this record, and why. A record built from several source concepts can carry one decision per concept.

  1. REVIEW 2026-08-13 · claude-opus-5

    Reviewed and endorsed the seeder's own resolution. Multi-source review pass: this record is attested by more than one independent vocabulary, and this source's label or path was read against the record's ontology term to check the merge is right. It agrees. Source concepts in the same pass whose labels did not agree were re-decided rather than endorsed; see the pass's other decisions of the same date.

  3. GROUND 2026-08-20 · claude-opus-5

    Grounded to ENVO:00001997 'acid mine drainage' (EXACT). Triad-evidence review (#126): GOLD's submitters annotate each biosample with a MIxS ENVO triad, and this concept's path carries 14 INDEPENDENT studies all asserting local = ENVO:00001997 'acid mine drainage'. That is evidence of a different kind from a label match — what the people who took the samples said the environment was. Study count is what is quoted rather than sample count because 122 of 140 unanimous paths are one study repeating itself; this one is corroborated across 14. The record was minted by the ambiguous-leaf rule because a shallower GOLD path, Engineered > Wastewater > Industrial wastewater > Acid mine drainage, already claimed the term. Both paths denote acid mine drainage; GOLD files the same concept under two branches. Grounding merges them, which is right — unlike the Sediment cases, this is a specific kind of place rather than a material that occurs in many settings. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.d727388954)
