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 2026-09-10 · codex-gpt-5
Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. ENVO:02000132 'constructed monument' kept as an xref. Committed Monument report rechecked the stale #67 conclusion: ENVO:00000359 'natural monument' remains a false lexical hit because GOLD's Engineered > Built environment > Monument source denotes built heritage, but the slice does contain ENVO:02000132 'constructed monument'. That term is an xref, not identity or parent, because its memorial-function definition overlaps but does not subsume temples, grottoes, cathedral facades, Stone, and Interior wall; the term request supplies ENVO:00000070 'human construction' as the true genus. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.a8b8ee2424)
DEFINED 2026-09-10 · codex-gpt-5
Defined as 'built heritage structure' under ENVO:00000070 'human construction'. 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 source denotes a built heritage construction broader than ENVO:02000132 'constructed monument': the ENVO term asserts memorial function, while GOLD's Stone and Interior wall children and the sampled literature span temples, grottoes, cathedral facades, and other non-memorial built heritage. ENVO:00000359 'natural monument' remains a false lexical hit because it is a protected natural environment. ENVO:00000070 'human construction' is the tightest vendored genus, and ENVO:02000132 stays an xref on the decision row because it overlaps but does not subsume the GOLD concept.
