Curation

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

REVIEW 2026-08-14 · claude-opus-5
Reviewed and endorsed the seeder's own resolution. Category override (#57): a minted identifier gives infer_category nothing to read — no ontology term, no GOLD path — so every Madin habitat named in the BacDive vocabulary fell to OTHER. A cold-blooded animal host is HOST_ASSOCIATED for the same reason as the endotherm one; the thermal distinction is a property of the host, not a different kind of habitat. (source concept habitatmech:BACDIVE.e68bf42dcb)
DEFINED 2026-08-17 · claude-opus-5
Defined as 'ectothermic-animal-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 counterpart of the endotherm term in the same Madin split.
