SEEDED workflow status. The source-seeding rules supplied this record; consult its curation history for later attributed changes. This status does not establish human review.

Source attestations

Each upstream vocabulary's own account of this habitat. Assertion counts are per-source units and are not comparable across sources — GOLD counts organisms, BacDive strains, PREGO taxa.

Curation

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

CONFIRM_UNGROUNDED 2026-08-12 · claude-opus-5 · class-level sweep, not an individual judgement
Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. Class-level sweep (see docs/HARMONIZATION.md#class-level-sweep): no term in the vendored slice matched this label by any search route. Whether the concept is a habitat at all was NOT assessed, so this is not yet a term-request candidate. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.7937011195)
SOURCE_PARENT_EXCLUDED 2026-10-06 · codex-gpt-5
Excluded GOLD source-path parent contribution habitatmech:GOLD.115edc36f8 for habitatmech:GOLD.7937011195 (Environmental > Aquatic > Marine > Intertidal zone > Thrombolites). ITEM hierarchy assessment (#1573): Louyakis et al. 2017 (DOI:10.1089/ast.2016.1563) describes clotted thrombolitic structures sampled on a marine intertidal platform; the structure is not a kind of the foreshore/seabed zone ENVO:00000316. Exclude only the GOLD location-context parent. Preserve GOLD7984, path, minted identity, zero-count omission and CLASS/SEEDED provenance. Do not force exact identity to microbialite or stromatolite mat, or promote the identity decision without a separate item assessment.
