How this entity was disambiguated

This entity first appeared as the object of triple T306749 — 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.

NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07

Target entity: SPDY
Context triple: [HTTP/2, originatedFrom, SPDY]

A. QUIC
QUIC is a modern, multiplexed transport protocol developed by Google and standardized by the IETF that runs over UDP to provide faster, more secure, and reliable web connections than traditional TCP-based HTTPS.
B. HTTP/2
HTTP/2 is a major revision of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol that introduced features like multiplexing, header compression, and server push to significantly improve web performance over HTTP/1.1.
C. HTTP/3
HTTP/3 is the third major version of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, built on the QUIC transport protocol to provide faster, more reliable, and secure web communication.
D. SCTP
SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) is a transport-layer network protocol designed to provide reliable, message-oriented communication with features like multi-streaming and multi-homing, often used for signaling and real-time data transmission.
E. HTTP
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the foundational application-layer protocol used for transmitting web pages and other resources across the World Wide Web.
F. None of above. chosen
G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
