How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T6009857 — 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.
Common Lisp
Common Lisp is a powerful, multi-paradigm dialect of the Lisp programming language standardised in the 1980s, known for its rich macro system, dynamic typing, and suitability for large-scale, extensible software systems.

CMU Common Lisp
CMU Common Lisp is a high-performance, open-source implementation of the Common Lisp programming language developed at Carnegie Mellon University, notable for its advanced compiler and optimization capabilities.
-
C.
Maclisp
Maclisp is an early and influential dialect of the Lisp programming language developed at MIT, notable for shaping later Lisp systems and language designs.
-
D.
Lisp Machine Lisp
Lisp Machine Lisp is a dialect of the Lisp programming language developed for specialized Lisp machine hardware, notable for its rich object system and tight integration with the underlying operating environment.

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: Common Lisp Object System Description of subject: Common Lisp Object System is the object-oriented programming subsystem of Common Lisp, providing multiple inheritance, generic functions, and a powerful metaobject protocol.
