Curation

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

GROUND 2026-08-12 · claude-opus-5
Grounded to ENVO:00000215 'hydrothermal vent' (EXACT). GOLD's Marine > Hydrothermal vents. Exact match to the ENVO term. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.77ae835059)
REVIEW 2026-08-12 · claude-opus-5
Reviewed and endorsed the seeder's own resolution. PREGO asserts ENVO:00000215 hydrothermal vent directly; the self-grounding is correct. Endorsed to complete the hydrothermal vent record. (source concept habitatmech:PREGO.90a1d4d39e)
