Curation

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

GROUND 2026-08-14 · claude-opus-5
Grounded to ENVO:00002033 'carcass' (CLOSE). Cohort review: FOODON:00003004 'animal' is the organism, not its decomposing remains. ENVO:00002033 'carcass' is what a decomposing animal is as a habitat; merges with the existing carcass record. (source concept habitatmech:BACDIVE.34e059b53d)
REVIEW 2026-08-16 · claude-opus-5
Reviewed and endorsed the seeder's own resolution. Risky-grounding review (#12), co-attestor pass: this source concept feeds a record whose grounding was flagged and reviewed, and the record could not reach REVIEWED until every source feeding it was decided. This one is a self-grounding: the source vocabulary names the concept with the ontology term's own label, so there is nothing to adjudicate between the two — checked that the term is the one the label denotes, and that the record it merges into is the same concept rather than a homonym.
