Curation

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

GROUND_AS_PARENT 2026-08-16 · claude-opus-5
BTO:0006187 'venous blood' attached as a parent, not adopted as the identity (NARROW). Compound-path screen (#12): every search route reads the GOLD leaf alone, but the leaf is only the last step of the path — 'Venous' under 'Blood' means 'venous blood'. Searched on its own it matches nothing (or the wrong sense entirely: 'Hyaline' finds PATO's transparent), which is why the class-level sweep recorded no match. The compound names BTO:0006187 'venous blood' exactly. Read against the full path before deciding. This is the 'Mammals: Human' path, which is a narrower kind of the same thing as the generic 'Mammals' path grounded to the same term; it is attached as a parent rather than adopted so the two do not merge and lose the host distinction.
