Curation

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

1. GROUND 2026-08-13 · claude-opus-5

   Grounded to UBERON:0002097 'skin of body' (BROAD). BacDive lumps skin, nail and hair; it was merged onto skin epidermis, which is far narrower than the bin. Grounded to skin of body, which is still broader than the bin but does not claim the epidermis specifically. (source concept habitatmech:BACDIVE.c94bf36c57)
