How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T13450321 — 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: Square Kilometre Array pathfinder work Context triple: [Lovell Telescope, associatedWith, Square Kilometre Array pathfinder work]
-
A.
Very Long Baseline Interferometry
Very Long Baseline Interferometry is a radio astronomy technique that combines signals from widely separated antennas to achieve extremely high angular resolution and precisely measure geodetic and astronomical parameters.
-
B.
Allen Telescope Array
The Allen Telescope Array is a large, multi-dish radio telescope facility in California designed primarily for simultaneous radio astronomy and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
-
C.
Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope
The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) is a massive radio telescope in China and currently the world’s largest single-dish radio observatory, used for studying pulsars, interstellar matter, and the search for extraterrestrial signals.
-
D.
Long Wavelength Array collaboration
The Long Wavelength Array collaboration is a scientific consortium that operates low-frequency radio telescope arrays to study the universe at meter and decameter wavelengths, including phenomena such as the early universe, cosmic rays, and solar and planetary radio emissions.
-
E.
Submillimeter Array
The Submillimeter Array is a radio interferometer of eight 6-meter telescopes that observes the universe at submillimeter wavelengths, enabling high-resolution studies of cold gas, dust, and star-forming regions in space.
- 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: Square Kilometre Array pathfinder work Description of subject: Square Kilometre Array pathfinder work refers to the preparatory research, technology development, and observational projects that test and refine concepts and systems for the future Square Kilometre Array radio telescope.
