How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T805104 — 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.

D.
Elm
Elm is a statically typed, functional programming language that compiles to JavaScript and is designed for building reliable, maintainable web front-end applications.
-
E.
lambda calculus
Lambda calculus is a formal system in mathematical logic and computer science that uses function abstraction and application to investigate computation and serves as a foundational model for programming languages.
- 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: Haskell Description of subject: Haskell is a statically typed, purely functional programming language known for its strong type system, lazy evaluation, and use in both academic research and industry.
