Curation

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

GROUND 2026-08-12 · claude-opus-5
Grounded to BTO:0005516 'wood' (CLOSE). Timber is processed wood. BTO:0005516 wood is the closest available material term; not exact because timber implies the worked product rather than the tissue. (source concept habitatmech:BACDIVE.c69e37289e)
REVIEW 2026-08-12 · claude-opus-5
Reviewed and endorsed the seeder's own resolution. PREGO asserts BTO:0005516 wood directly; the self-grounding is correct. Endorsed to complete the wood record, whose BacDive Timber attestation is already curated. (source concept habitatmech:PREGO.0de8f6a4da)
