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:0001705 'nail' (EXACT). Sibling-path review (#12): two GOLD paths end in 'Nails' at equal depth, so the seeder's ambiguous-leaf rule leaves both unclaimed. The Mammals path is the more general of the two and is the better claimant for the unqualified UBERON term; the Mammals: Human path is recorded as narrower. Path: Host-associated > Mammals > Integumentary system > Nails (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.f071d1bc9b)
