How this entity was disambiguated

This entity first appeared as the object of triple T575231 — 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: C++ standard library
Context triple: [C++, hasStandardLibrary, C++ standard library]

A. C++
C++ is a high-performance, general-purpose programming language widely used for system/software development, game engines, and performance-critical applications.
B. STL
STL is a common abbreviation and nickname for the city of St. Louis, Missouri.
C. GNU C Library
