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:0006726 'outer canthus' (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, 'Canthus > Outer', name outer canthus exactly. 'Outer' alone is meaningless. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.0f1636fe06)
