CONFIRM_UNGROUNDED 2026-09-08 · codex-gpt-5
Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. ENVO:03600012 'oil pipeline network' kept as an xref. Definition research for Oil/Gas pipeline found ENVO:03600014 'pipeline network' as a true broader term and ENVO:03600012 'oil pipeline network' as a narrower related term that covers only the oil half and adds a consumer-destination constraint. The GOLD leaf denotes oil and natural-gas pipeline systems, including gathering and production lines that need not transport material to consumers, so it keeps a minted identity and carries the oil-pipeline term only as an xref. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.74bb711f82)
DEFINED 2026-09-08 · codex-gpt-5
Defined as 'oil or gas pipeline network' under ENVO:03600014 'pipeline network'. Definition authored from a local evidence review, read in full. The review found ENVO:03600014 'pipeline network' in the vendored slice and chose it as the tightest existing genus that covers both liquids and gases without ENVO:03600012's narrower oil-only scope or its over-specific consumer-destination clause. ENVO:03600012 remains an xref because it is a related oil-pipeline sibling, while gathering, transmission, distribution, flowline, trunk-line and gas-line names denote regulatory or operational subclasses rather than exact synonyms.
