Curation

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

  1. 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. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.a29be13c5e)

  3. GROUND 2026-08-16 · claude-opus-5

    Grounded to ENVO:01000017 'sand' (CLOSE). Term-request re-check (#12): 'Sandy' was left ungrounded after ENVO:00000172 'sandy desert' was refused via its 'sandy area' synonym — correctly, since a sandy isolation source need not be a desert. But ENVO:01000017 'sand', 'particulate environmental material composed primarily of particles of sand', carries no such extra claim and is what the bin names. CLOSE because BacDive's label is an adjective describing a sampling substrate rather than the material class itself. (source concept habitatmech:BACDIVE.b3b3dfff91)
