How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T10803778 — 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: Bose construction of Steiner systems Context triple: [Raj Chandra Bose, notableWork, Bose construction of Steiner systems]
-
A.
Graham–Pollak theorem
The Graham–Pollak theorem is a result in graph theory that states the edges of a complete graph on n vertices cannot be partitioned into fewer than n−1 complete bipartite subgraphs.
-
B.
Conway's 99-graph problem
Conway's 99-graph problem is an unsolved combinatorial question in graph theory, posed by John H. Conway, concerning the existence and properties of a hypothetical 99-vertex graph with highly constrained adjacency conditions.
-
C.
Erdős–Ko–Rado theorem
The Erdős–Ko–Rado theorem is a fundamental result in extremal combinatorics that determines the maximum size of a family of subsets of a finite set in which every pair of subsets has a non-empty intersection.
-
D.
Hadamard matrices
Hadamard matrices are square matrices with entries ±1 whose rows are mutually orthogonal, playing a key role in combinatorics, coding theory, and signal processing.
-
E.
Sylvester’s theorem on partitions
Sylvester’s theorem on partitions is a result in number theory that provides a systematic way to count integer partitions subject to certain congruence or restriction conditions, forming part of the foundational work in partition theory.
- 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.
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.
Subject: Bose construction of Steiner systems Description of subject: The Bose construction of Steiner systems is a combinatorial method introduced by mathematician Raj Chandra Bose to systematically build certain highly regular block designs known as Steiner systems.
