How this entity was disambiguated

This entity first appeared as the object of triple T6145097 — 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.

Target entity: The Scheme Programming Language (book examples)
Context triple: [Chez Scheme, usedIn, The Scheme Programming Language (book examples)]

A. Chez Scheme
Chez Scheme is a high-performance, optimizing implementation of the Scheme programming language widely used for both research and production systems.
B. Revised^n Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme
The Revised^n Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme is the series of formal documents that define and evolve the official specification of the Scheme programming language.
C. Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs is a seminal computer science textbook by Harold Abelson and Gerald Jay Sussman that uses the Scheme language to teach fundamental principles of programming and software design.
D. PLT Scheme
PLT Scheme is the original name of the programming language and environment that later evolved into Racket, known for its powerful support of functional and language-oriented programming.
E. MIT Scheme
MIT Scheme is a long-standing, feature-rich implementation of the Scheme programming language developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, often used for teaching and research in computer science.
F. None of above. chosen
G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
