How this entity was disambiguated

This entity first appeared as the object of triple T6247936 — 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: WASI component model
Context triple: [wasi-io, designedToWorkWith, WASI component model]

A. 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.
B. wasi-cli
wasi-cli is a command-line interface component for the WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) that enables running and interacting with WASI-compatible WebAssembly modules from the terminal.
C. 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.
D. WebAssembly.Module
WebAssembly.Module is a JavaScript object representing a compiled WebAssembly binary that can be efficiently instantiated and executed in web or other host environments.
E. WASI
WASI is a modular system interface designed to let WebAssembly programs safely and portably interact with operating system features like files, networking, and clocks.
F. None of above. chosen
G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
