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 2026-08-26 · claude-opus-5

    Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. NCBITaxon:10114 'Rattus' kept as an xref. Host-taxon reversal (#114) reaching the last members of its own family (#194): this was NOT_APPLICABLE, which asserts the source concept is not a habitat. An organism acting as a host IS a habitat, and the corpus already says so for bovine, caprine, equid, leporid and suid, all minted with ENVO:01001002 'animal-associated environment' as parent and the organism term as an xref. Reviewed before, but not on this question: the 2026-08-14 REVIEW row (#43) asked only whether the xref was over-narrow and endorsed the seeder's NOT_APPLICABLE as a side effect. That finding stands and is kept - NCBITaxon:10114 'Rattus' drops the mouse half of the source label - so the requested definition covers mouse and rat while the xref records what upstream actually matched. The taxon term is not the identity - a family is a class of organisms, not a place - so it stays an xref (#99) and the concept keeps its minted identity with a term request. Category HOST_ASSOCIATED: the host is living. (source concept habitatmech:BACDIVE.ab17ecb10f)

  2. DEFINED 2026-08-26 · claude-opus-5

    Defined as 'murid-associated environment' under ENVO:01001002 'animal-associated environment'. Definition follows the established <clade>-associated environment family for BacDive host buckets, whose naming rule the corpus already fixes: a -inae source label yields -ine (Bovinae-Cow,-Cattle -> bovine) and a -idae source label yields -id (Equidae-Horse -> equid, Leporidae-Rabbit/Hare -> leporid, Suidae-Pig,Swine -> suid). No deep-research run was commissioned: the genus, the wording pattern and the near-miss reasoning are already settled by those five siblings and by NCBITaxon, so a billed report would add nothing this slice turns on. Worded like the leporid sibling because the source label names two vernacular hosts. Both are Muridae. This is also where the standing #43 finding is repaired in substance: the upstream xref NCBITaxon:10114 'Rattus' drops the mouse, and the definition does not.
