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 2026-08-14 · claude-opus-5

    Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. Stale-sweep review (#12): NCIT:C48187 'Material' matches the label and carries none of the meaning — a residual bucket like the NCIT 'Other' and 'Part' terms already refused in #43. Path: Engineered > Industrial production > Engineered product > Material (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.7dd45e072b)

  2. DEFINED 2026-09-11 · codex-gpt-5

    Defined as 'solid manufactured material' under ENVO:00003074 'manufactured product'. Definition authored from the record's committed deep-research report under research/habitats/, read in full; no new paid research was commissioned. GOLD's Engineered > Industrial production > Engineered product > Material source is interpreted as a grouping node for solid fabricated materials, with Plastic, Fabric, and Paper children but no direct sample assertions. ENVO:00003074 'manufactured product' is the tightest vendored genus, while NCIT:C48187 'Material' is too generic, ENVO:0010001 'anthropogenic environmental material' omits textile and paper product siblings, ENVO:00010483 'environmental material' has the wrong mass-noun scope, ENVO:06105101 'plastic' is narrower than the grouping, and FOODON:00003368 'food contact material' overclaims food contact. The GOLD source label remains on the HabitatMech record through source_attestations and the seeder's internal source-label synonym; the ENVO request intentionally has no authored exact synonyms because manufactured material, engineered material, and fabricated material would be related rather than exact.
