Curation

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

1. REVIEW 2026-08-16 · claude-opus-5

   Reviewed and endorsed the seeder's own resolution. Risky-grounding review (#12): the flag is lexical: the term's label spells out a qualifier that the GOLD path supplies positionally rather than in the leaf. The path pins the sense, and it is the term's. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.d023ed65ca)

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

   Excluded GOLD source-path parent contribution ENVO:00000019 for habitatmech:GOLD.d023ed65ca (Environmental > Aquatic > Non-marine Saline and Alkaline > Saline lake > Ice core). ITEM hierarchy assessment (#1590): official ENVO a2455d1a77e46bb8a664d65a157166b539269042 defines ENVO:01001530 as a drilled ice mass, whereas ENVO:00000019 denotes a whole saline lake. Lake context is not a strictly broader class of the core material. Suppress only this GOLD source-parent contribution; preserve the independent ENVO:01000293 ice-mass parent, GOLD7982, full source path, zero-count omission, CLOSE/skos:closeMatch and existing ITEM review provenance. This correction does not establish the source's multi-year snow-accumulation history or settle its identity; typed broad synonyms remain tracked in #1249.
