Curation

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

    Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. Nearest broader term FOODON:03411301 'algae' attached as a parent. Non-habitat screen (#12): 'Host-associated > Algae' was grounded EXACT to FOODON:03411301 'algae', which FOODON defines as 'an informal term for a large, diverse group of photosynthetic eukaryotic ORGANISMS'. An organism is not a habitat, and because the seeder derives a GOLD child's parent from its path node, that identity also became the parent_habitats entry of 14 records under Host-associated > Algae — publishing 'is-a algae the organism group' as a broader-habitat claim 14 times over. The existing organism-identity screen could not see it: it tests ancestry against NCIT and mesh roots, and FOODON files both the organism and the material under one 'organism material' root, so there is no structural signal to test. The concept itself is real — algae as host — and is the same family as the sponge, nematode and reptile requests, so it becomes a term request with the FOODON term kept as an xref (#99) rather than an identity.
