Curation

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

  1. CONFIRM_UNGROUNDED 2026-08-14 · claude-opus-5

    Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. Stale-sweep review (#84): the variant search reaches PATO:0001456 'anaerobic' by taking the parenthetical from 'Dissolved organics (anaerobic)'. A quality is not a habitat — the call already recorded for Acidic, Humid, Arid and the climatic zones — and the habitat here is the wastewater, not its oxygen state. The sweep's answer stands; its stated reason no longer does. Path: Engineered > Wastewater > Nutrient removal > Dissolved organics (anaerobic) (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.bb0eb00ccb)

  2. DEFINED 2026-09-08 · codex-gpt-5

    Defined as 'anaerobic wastewater treatment reactor' under ENVO:00002124 'anaerobic bioreactor'. Definition authored from the committed deep-research report; no new paid research was commissioned. The report re-reads GOLD's Dissolved organics (anaerobic) source path as an anaerobic secondary wastewater-treatment unit rather than a free dissolved-organic analyte, and it identifies ENVO:00002124 'anaerobic bioreactor' as the tightest existing genus because ENVO lacks an anaerobic wastewater treatment reactor class while narrower descendants such as ENVO:00002213 'anaerobic sludge blanket reactor' over-specify reactor geometry. parent_mode=REPLACE intentionally drops GOLD's Nutrient removal parent: the source bucket is a loose secondary-treatment grouping, but removing dissolved organic carbon is carbon/BOD removal rather than nutrient removal.
