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:03412107 'sea urchin' kept as an xref. Organism-identity screen (#109): grounded EXACT to FOODON:03412107 'sea urchin', which is an echinoderm — an organism, not a place. The screen that exists to catch exactly this reported 0 for months because it tested only NCIT and mesh ancestry and only the record's identity; widening it to UBERON:0000468 and to parent_habitats surfaced this family. The GOLD path says host-associated, so the concept is the environment the organism provides, which is the same family as the sponge, nematode and reptile term requests. The organism term is kept as an xref (#99) rather than an identity. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.b19422ad27)

  2. DEFINED 2026-08-28 · claude-opus-5

    Defined as 'sea urchin-associated environment' under ENVO:01001002 'animal-associated environment'. Definition authored from the record's committed deep-research report under research/habitats/, read in full; the report's proposed sentence, genus and near-miss table are the evidence. No new research was commissioned. Worded like the existing ENVO:01001179 'cnidarian-associated environment', which is ENVO's own precedent for a taxon-scoped associated-environment class. The report recommends ENVO:01001002 rather than the tighter ENVO:01001176; the Echinodermata GOLD parent is kept, so ADD.
