Curation

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

GROUND 2026-08-16 · claude-opus-5
Grounded to BTO:0006188 'arterial blood' (EXACT). Compound-path screen (#12): every search route reads the GOLD leaf alone, but the leaf is only the last step of the path — 'Arterial' under 'Blood' means 'arterial blood'. Searched on its own it matches nothing (or the wrong sense entirely: 'Hyaline' finds PATO's transparent), which is why the class-level sweep recorded no match. The compound names BTO:0006188 'arterial blood' exactly. Read against the full path before deciding. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.b183820c16)
