Curation

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

GROUND 2026-08-12 · claude-opus-5
Grounded to BTO:0001025 'peripheral blood mononuclear cell' (EXACT). Leaf label equals the BTO label exactly and no other source concept claims it. Path: Host-associated > Mammals > Circulatory system > Blood > Peripheral blood mononuclear cell (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.a3a9e33eec)
REVIEW 2026-08-13 · claude-opus-5
Reviewed and endorsed the seeder's own resolution. Multi-source review pass: this record is attested by more than one independent vocabulary, and this source's label or path was read against the record's ontology term to check the merge is right. It agrees. Source concepts in the same pass whose labels did not agree were re-decided rather than endorsed; see the pass's other decisions of the same date.
