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 2026-08-16 · claude-opus-5

    Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. Host-taxon reversal (#114): this was NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that 'a host taxon is not a habitat'. That reasoning is wrong, and the corpus already contradicted it — the same kind of concept was treated as a habitat for Sponge, Nematoda, Reptilia, Mammals, Birds and Fish, which keep their own identity and a term request for an <X>-associated environment. Host-associated > Porifera was NOT_APPLICABLE while its own child Porifera > Sponge was a term request.An organism acting as a host IS a habitat: it is where the microbe lives, and ENVO models exactly this at plant-associated, animal-associated and fungi-associated environment. What is not a habitat is the TAXON TERM — a phylum is a class of organisms, not a place — so the taxon stays an xref (#99) and the concept keeps its own identity as a term-request candidate. NOT_APPLICABLE said the concept is not a habitat, which is a stronger and false claim. Category set to HOST_ASSOCIATED (#200): the row already claims ENVO:01001002 'animal-associated environment' as the nearest broader term, which is the claim that a living animal host defines the habitat, and every other record carrying that parent is HOST_ASSOCIATED. The category column was left blank here, so the seeder's default stood and five domestic-mammal hosts stayed in OTHER while their siblings did not. The reasoning above is unchanged.

  2. DEFINED 2026-08-17 · claude-opus-5

    Defined as 'bovine-associated environment' under ENVO:01001002 'animal-associated environment'. Definition drafted from the record's deep-research report under research/habitats/ and read against it; the report's proposed wording, genus and near-miss table are the evidence. BacDive's cattle host category.
