How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T5765521 — 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.

-
A.
WebAssembly.instantiate
WebAssembly.instantiate is a JavaScript API function that compiles and instantiates WebAssembly modules, returning ready-to-use module instances and their exported functions.
-
B.
WebAssembly JavaScript Interface
The WebAssembly JavaScript Interface is the standard API that defines how JavaScript code interacts with and controls WebAssembly modules within web browsers and other host environments.
-
C.
WebAssembly System Interface
The WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) is a modular, portable set of system APIs that allows WebAssembly programs to interact safely and consistently with operating system features like files, networking, and clocks across different platforms.
-
D.
WebAssembly specification
The WebAssembly specification is a standardized, low-level binary instruction format designed to enable high-performance, portable code execution on the web and other platforms.
-
E.
WebAssembly.RuntimeError
WebAssembly.RuntimeError is a JavaScript error type representing runtime exceptions that occur during the execution of WebAssembly modules, such as traps or illegal operations.
- 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: WebAssembly.Module Description of subject: WebAssembly.Module is a JavaScript object representing a compiled WebAssembly binary that can be efficiently instantiated and executed in web or other host environments.
