2026-08-06T00:00:00+00:00	edison_literature_identity LLM	ANNOTATED		Edison LITERATURE (PaperQA3) identity research; report at research/ingredients/Blood_Agar_Base-edison-literature.md (local artifact — research/ is gitignored, so the findings are quoted here rather than linked). Report verdict: Recommended interpretation: `Blood Agar Base` is a complex basal culture-medium formulation/family label, not a single chemical, salt, hydrate, buffer, or chemically defined substance. The current `DEFINED_MEDIUM` type is appropriate in the database sense of a named complete basal medium, although the material is not chemically defined: such formulations contain complex digests/extract No ontology CURIE was proposed. Recorded as provenance only — no grounding applied from this run. Edison's recommendations are deliberately conservative, and a plausible identifier promoted by a mechanism that never decided anything is what #203 and #263 exist to undo. Any CURIE above is a curator's to accept or reject.
