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 2026-10-06 · codex-gpt-5

    Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. ENVO:01001667 'thalassic' kept as an xref. ITEM identity assessment (#1572): GOLD3976 classifies a thalassic saline sampling environment, not the physical quality ENVO:01001667. Official ENVO a2455d1a77e46bb8a664d65a157166b539269042 places that term beneath physical quality; retain it only as an xref. GOLD's classification documentation and the committed aquatic-biome/lagoon/saline-water triad support an environmental source, but one sample does not establish a universal lagoon, whole water body or water-material identity. Preserve the minted source habitat without inventing a definition or a replacement genus. The source-context saline-water-body contribution is separately excluded. Path: Environmental > Aquatic > Non-marine Saline and Alkaline > Saline > Thalassic (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.3fece6dbf7)

  2. SOURCE_PARENT_EXCLUDED 2026-10-06 · codex-gpt-5

    Excluded GOLD source-path parent contribution ENVO:01001319 for habitatmech:GOLD.3fece6dbf7 (Environmental > Aquatic > Non-marine Saline and Alkaline > Saline > Thalassic). ITEM hierarchy assessment (#1572): the source classifies a thalassic saline environment without establishing that every member is a whole saline water body. Official ENVO a2455d1a77e46bb8a664d65a157166b539269042 defines ENVO:01001319 as that whole body. GOLD's one lagoon local-scale annotation is sample context, not universal identity. Exclude only this unsupported source-parent contribution; preserve GOLD3976, the full path and one ORGANISM assertion. The separate ITEM decision rejects the quality identity and retains its xref. No water-body or water-material genus is guessed.
