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 2026-08-16 · claude-opus-5

    Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. FOODON:03411743 'red algae' kept as an xref. Non-habitat screen (#12): grounded EXACT to FOODON:03411743 'red algae', which FOODON uses for the TAXON — red algae is defined there as 'one of the oldest groups of eukaryotic algae, and one of the largest phyla' — not for a habitat. An organism group is not a place, and the GOLD path says host-associated, so the concept is the environment the alga provides. Same family as the sponge, nematode and reptile requests. The FOODON term is kept as an xref (#99), which records what the label matched without asserting the record is a phylum. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.e789c273d0)

  2. DEFINED 2026-08-22 · codex-gpt-5

    Defined as 'red-alga-associated environment' under ENVO:01001000 'environmental system determined by an organism'. Definition curated from the committed deep-research report. Parented to the organism-determined root because red algae are not green plants; the GOLD hierarchy separately preserves alga-associated environment as the immediate HabitatMech parent, and the FOODON taxon term remains an xref.
