How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T4276727 — 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.

-
A.
WebSockets Standard
The WebSockets Standard is a web technology specification that enables full-duplex, real-time communication between web browsers and servers over a single, long-lived connection.
-
B.
WebRTC
WebRTC is an open web technology that enables real-time audio, video, and data communication directly between browsers and devices without requiring plugins.
-
C.
Messages for Web
Messages for Web is the browser-based interface that lets users send and receive SMS and RCS messages from their computer using Google Messages on their phone.
-
D.
Web workers
Web workers are a web platform feature that enable running JavaScript in background threads separate from the main UI thread to perform computationally intensive or asynchronous tasks without blocking user interactions.
-
E.
MQTT
MQTT is a lightweight, publish-subscribe messaging protocol commonly used for reliable communication in IoT and constrained network environments.
- 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: websockets (Python websockets library) Description of subject: websockets is a Python library for building asynchronous WebSocket clients and servers, providing a simple, asyncio-based API for real-time, bidirectional communication over the WebSocket protocol.
