-
C.
International Bureau of Weights and Measures
The International Bureau of Weights and Measures is an international organization that maintains the global system of units (SI) and ensures worldwide uniformity of measurements and time standards.
-
D.
CODATA recommended values of the fundamental physical constants
The CODATA recommended values of the fundamental physical constants are internationally standardized, periodically updated numerical values for key physical constants used to ensure consistency and precision in scientific and technological calculations.
-
E.
International Bureau
The International Bureau is the permanent secretariat and administrative center of the Universal Postal Union, responsible for coordinating international postal activities and supporting member countries.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
Input
Subject: CGPM resolutions Description of subject: CGPM resolutions are formal decisions made by the General Conference on Weights and Measures that define and update the International System of Units (SI) and its standards.
