Curation

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

GROUND_AS_PARENT 2026-08-14 · claude-opus-5
ENVO:01001179 'cnidarian-associated environment' attached as a parent, not adopted as the identity (NARROW). Grounding-cohort review (#62): was FOODON:03412872 'barramundi' — a FISH, matched because barramundi carries 'coral' as a synonym (its Bengali name). GOLD's path is Host-associated > Invertebrates > Cnidaria > Coral, so the habitat is a coral animal. Kept as a narrower kind of cnidarian-associated environment rather than grounded to it, because Host-associated > Cnidaria is the shallower path entitled to that term.
