Curation

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

  1. CONFIRM_UNGROUNDED 2026-08-16 · claude-opus-5

    Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. FOODON:03412345 'lichen' kept as an xref. Organism-identity screen (#109): grounded EXACT to FOODON:03412345 'lichen', which is a composite organism arising from algae or cyanobacteria living among fungal filaments — an organism, not a place. The screen that exists to catch exactly this reported 0 for months because it tested only NCIT and mesh ancestry and only the record's identity; widening it to UBERON:0000468 and to parent_habitats surfaced this family. The GOLD path says host-associated, so the concept is the environment the organism provides, which is the same family as the sponge, nematode and reptile term requests. The organism term is kept as an xref (#99) rather than an identity. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.5e1a5d695c)

  2. DEFINED 2026-08-22 · codex-gpt-5

    Defined as 'lichen-associated environment' under ENVO:01001041 'fungi-associated environment'. Definition curated from the committed deep-research report. GOLD files the composite lichen thallus under Fungi and the fungal partner supplies its nomenclatural identity, making fungi-associated environment the narrowest defensible existing genus; the FOODON organism term remains an xref.
