Evidence (2)

DATABASE_MATCH via CHEBI via OLS search (resolve_unmapped)

Auto-upgraded from UNMAPPED_0304; matched via 'Carnitine' (name normalization); label-exact

CURATOR_JUDGMENT via fix_stereoisomer_remaps

Re-mapped from achiral CHEBI:17126 to stereospecific CHEBI:16347 ((R)-carnitine); the prior auto-upgrade collapsed the stereo prefix to the generic parent.

2026-08-24T00:00:00+00:00 regrade_synonym_matches REGRADED_EXACT_TO_SYNONYM mapping_quality EXACT_MATCH -> SYNONYM_MATCH (#317). The record's label does not equal the term's primary label '(R)-carnitine'; preferred_term 'L-Carnitine' matches the ChEBI synonym 'L-Carnitine' on CHEBI:16347. The schema defines EXACT_MATCH as a direct match to the term and SYNONYM_MATCH as a match to a known synonym, so the recorded grade overstated. ontology_id is unchanged — the term is correct. The own-identifier SSSOM predicate remains skos:exactMatch under Rule D (#438), independently of mapping quality.
