An organism, e.g. 'Homo sapiens'. This is the organism that the entity is found in. Pathways may not have an organism associated with them, for instance, reference pathways from KEGG. Sequence-based entities (DNA, protein, RNA) may contain an xref to a sequence database that contains organism information, in which case the information should be consistent with the value for ORGANISM.
