How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T9566687 — 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.

Entity disambiguation (via context triple)
gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: SML/NJ Context triple: [Standard ML, hasImplementation, SML/NJ]
-
A.
Standard ML
Standard ML is a statically typed functional programming language with type inference and a formal semantics, widely used in programming language research and teaching.
-
B.
The Definition of Standard ML
The Definition of Standard ML is the formal language specification that rigorously defines the syntax and semantics of the Standard ML functional programming language.
-
C.
Hindley–Milner type system
The Hindley–Milner type system is a classical polymorphic type system used in many functional programming languages, notable for enabling type inference without explicit type annotations.
-
D.
Chez Scheme
Chez Scheme is a high-performance, optimizing implementation of the Scheme programming language widely used for both research and production systems.
-
E.
LCF theorem prover
The LCF theorem prover is an early interactive proof system that pioneered the use of higher-order logic and the LCF-style architecture, forming the conceptual basis for later provers like HOL and Isabelle.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

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: SML/NJ Description of subject: SML/NJ is a widely used, open-source compiler and interactive environment for the Standard ML programming language, known for its robust type system support and advanced compilation technology.
