Curation

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

GROUND 2026-08-16 · claude-opus-5
Grounded to UBERON:0002183 'lobar bronchus' (EXACT). 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, 'Bronchi > Secondary', match lobar bronchus on its exact synonym 'secondary bronchus' — the two are the same airway, the lobar name being anatomical and the secondary name positional in the branching order.
