How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T7329417 — 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.

B.
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.
-
C.
Oberon programming language
The Oberon programming language is a minimalist, modular, and strongly typed language designed by Niklaus Wirth as the successor to Modula-2, emphasizing simplicity and efficiency in both language and operating system design.
-
D.
Odin programming language
Odin is a statically typed, compiled systems programming language focused on simplicity, data-oriented design, and high performance as an alternative to C.

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: Euler (programming language) Description of subject: Euler is an early procedural programming language designed by Niklaus Wirth that explored concepts in data structures and algorithmic notation, influencing his later, more widely used languages.
