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 2026-08-16 · claude-opus-5
UBERON:0001996 'elastic cartilage tissue' attached as a parent, not adopted as the identity (NARROW). Compound-path screen (#12, #97): the GOLD leaf alone names nothing, or the wrong thing — every search route reads it in isolation, which is why the class-level sweep recorded no match. The last two path steps together, 'Cartilage > Elastic', name elastic cartilage tissue. This is the 'Mammals: Human' path; it is attached as a parent rather than adopted so it does not merge with the generic 'Mammals' path grounded to the same term and lose the host distinction.
