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 2026-08-14 · claude-opus-5

   Grounded to ENVO:00000029 'watercourse' (CLOSE). Cohort review: NCIT:C43963 'Creek' drops the river half. ENVO:00000029 'watercourse' is the genus of both river and creek, so it covers the source instead of picking one branch of it. Merges with the existing GOLD watercourse record, which is the harmonization working. (source concept habitatmech:BACDIVE.1106e09fbe)

2. REVIEW 2026-08-16 · claude-opus-5

   Reviewed and endorsed the seeder's own resolution. Risky-grounding review (#12), co-attestor pass: this source concept feeds a record whose grounding was flagged and reviewed, and the record could not reach REVIEWED until every source feeding it was decided. This one is a self-grounding: the source vocabulary names the concept with the ontology term's own label, so there is nothing to adjudicate between the two — checked that the term is the one the label denotes, and that the record it merges into is the same concept rather than a homonym.
