How this entity was disambiguated

This entity first appeared as the object of triple T73473 — 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: YANG modeling language
Context triple: [IEEE 802.1Qcp, uses, YANG modeling language]

A. IEEE 802.1Qcp YANG data model standard
The IEEE 802.1Qcp YANG data model standard defines a structured, machine-readable configuration and management model for VLAN and bridging features in Ethernet networks, enabling interoperable network automation and control.
B. IEEE 802.1Qcx YANG data model for bridge management standard
The IEEE 802.1Qcx YANG data model for bridge management standard defines a structured, machine-readable configuration and management model for Ethernet bridges to support automated and interoperable network management.
C. IEEE 2413 IoT architecture standard
IEEE 2413 IoT architecture standard is a framework that defines a unified, scalable reference architecture and common vocabulary for designing and integrating Internet of Things systems across diverse domains.
D. IEEE 802.1CM fronthaul standard
The IEEE 802.1CM fronthaul standard is a Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) specification that defines Ethernet-based transport requirements and profiles for carrying mobile fronthaul traffic in 4G/5G radio access networks.
E. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging standard
The IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging standard defines how virtual LANs are implemented and identified over Ethernet networks by inserting a VLAN tag into Ethernet frames.
F. None of above. chosen
G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
