Curation

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

CONFIRM_UNGROUNDED 2026-08-14 · claude-opus-5
Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. Stale-sweep review (#12): NCIT:C35708 'Stone' matches the label, but the path is Built environment > Monument > Stone, and NCIT's term is not the building material. Stonework is a real habitat with no term in the slice. Path: Engineered > Built environment > Monument > Stone (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.8c6192908f)
DEFINED 2026-09-10 · codex-gpt-5
Defined as 'built heritage stone material' under ENVO:0010001 'anthropogenic environmental material'. Definition authored from the record's committed deep-research report under research/habitats/, read in full; no new paid research was commissioned. GOLD's Engineered > Built environment > Monument > Stone source denotes worked stone fabric or substratum under built heritage, not NCIT:C35708 'Stone' calculi, natural rock outcrops, rock tools or lithic artifacts, gypsum black crust, biofilm, concrete, mortar, cave walls, or catacomb walls. ENVO:0010001 'anthropogenic environmental material' is the tightest vendored genus for a human-emplaced material; ENVO:00001995 'rock' is natural rock generally, and natural rock branches already exist separately; ENVO:02000132 'constructed monument' and ENVO:01000457 'masonry unit' name a partially overlapping whole memorial construction and countable masonry blocks rather than broader material classes. The source has zero direct assertions, but the exact grounded Sandstone child and built-heritage stone microbiome literature support retaining the grouping.
