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 2026-08-20 · claude-opus-5

    Grounded to ENVO:03000120 'subglacial lake' (EXACT). Triad-evidence review (#126): GOLD's submitters annotate each biosample with a MIxS ENVO triad, and this concept's path carries 3 INDEPENDENT studies all asserting local = ENVO:03000120 'subglacial lake'. That is evidence of a different kind from a label match — what the people who took the samples said the environment was. Study count is what is quoted rather than sample count because 122 of 140 unanimous paths are one study repeating itself; this one is corroborated across 3. The Deep subsurface half of the same tie; see the Freshwater path's note. Grounding both is what merges them into the one concept they describe. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.7a082e8e9f)

Triad-evidence review (#126): GOLD's submitters annotate each biosample with a MIxS ENVO triad, and this concept's path carries 3 INDEPENDENT studies all asserting local = ENVO:03000120 'subglacial lake'. That is evidence of a different kind from a label match — what the people who took the samples said the environment was. Study count is what is quoted rather than sample count because 122 of 140 unanimous paths are one study repeating itself; this one is corroborated across 3. This breaks a tie the lexical rule leaves unbroken by design. Two GOLD paths end in 'Subglacial lake' at the SAME depth — under Freshwater and under Deep subsurface — and the ambiguous-leaf rule leaves ties unclaimed because there is no principled lexical winner, so ENVO:03000120 sat unclaimed. The triad supplies what the rule could not: three studies agree the local scale is subglacial lake. Both paths are grounded, which merges them, because a subglacial lake is one concept GOLD happens to file twice. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.c5a94d7484)
