How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T10328446 — 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.

Target entity: WHATWG Streams Standard Context triple: [ReadableStream, definedInSpecification, WHATWG Streams Standard]
-
A.
ReadableStream
ReadableStream is a web platform interface representing a source of streaming data that can be read incrementally, commonly used for handling network responses and other asynchronous data flows in JavaScript.
-
B.
WebSockets Standard
The WebSockets Standard is a web technology specification that enables full-duplex, real-time communication between web browsers and servers over a single, long-lived connection.
-
C.
WritableStream
WritableStream is a web platform interface representing a destination for streaming data, allowing chunks to be written, queued, and processed asynchronously.
-
D.
IETF Stream
The IETF Stream is the primary publication channel through which the Internet Engineering Task Force issues its technical standards and best current practice documents as RFCs.
-
E.
TransformStream
TransformStream is a web streams API interface that enables transforming data chunks passing through a readable–writable stream pair, such as for compression, encryption, or format conversion in streaming workflows.
- 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: WHATWG Streams Standard Description of subject: The WHATWG Streams Standard is a web platform specification that defines a unified, interoperable model and APIs for handling streaming data in web browsers and related environments.
