How this entity was disambiguated

This entity first appeared as the object of triple T6009857 — 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: Common Lisp Object System
Context triple: [Common Lisp, hasFeature, Common Lisp Object System]

A. Common Lisp
Common Lisp is a powerful, multi-paradigm dialect of the Lisp programming language standardised in the 1980s, known for its rich macro system, dynamic typing, and suitability for large-scale, extensible software systems.
B. CMU Common Lisp
CMU Common Lisp is a high-performance, open-source implementation of the Common Lisp programming language developed at Carnegie Mellon University, notable for its advanced compiler and optimization capabilities.
C. Maclisp
Maclisp is an early and influential dialect of the Lisp programming language developed at MIT, notable for shaping later Lisp systems and language designs.
D. Lisp Machine Lisp
Lisp Machine Lisp is a dialect of the Lisp programming language developed for specialized Lisp machine hardware, notable for its rich object system and tight integration with the underlying operating environment.
E. Franz Lisp
Franz Lisp is a dialect of the Lisp programming language developed in the late 1970s at the University of California, Berkeley, primarily for use in artificial intelligence research and symbolic computation.
F. None of above. chosen
G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
