How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T1773647 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Serial ATA
Serial ATA (SATA) is a computer bus interface standard used primarily to connect storage devices like hard drives and solid-state drives to a motherboard using high-speed serial communication.
-
D.
Fibre Channel
Fibre Channel is a high-speed network technology primarily used to connect computer data storage in storage area networks (SANs), offering low-latency, high-throughput communication for enterprise environments.
-
E.
IEEE 1394
IEEE 1394 is a high-speed serial bus interface standard, commonly known as FireWire, used for real-time data transfer between digital devices such as computers, cameras, and audio/video equipment.
- 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: Serial SCSI Protocol (SSP) Description of subject: Serial SCSI Protocol (SSP) is a protocol used in Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) systems to transport SCSI commands and data over high-speed serial links between storage devices and controllers.
