How this entity was disambiguated

This entity first appeared as the object of triple T7665694 — 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.

NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07

Target entity: Gang of Four design pattern
Context triple: [Memento (design pattern), category, Gang of Four design pattern]

A. Strategy (design pattern)
Strategy is a behavioral design pattern that defines a family of interchangeable algorithms, encapsulates each one, and lets clients switch between them at runtime without changing their code.
B. Composite pattern
The Composite pattern is a structural design pattern that lets you treat individual objects and compositions of objects uniformly by organizing them into tree-like hierarchies.
C. Strategy pattern
The Strategy pattern is a behavioral design pattern that enables selecting an algorithm’s implementation at runtime by encapsulating each algorithm in a separate interchangeable class.
D. Strangler Fig pattern
The Strangler Fig pattern is a software design and migration approach that incrementally replaces legacy systems by building new functionality around them until the old system can be safely retired.
E. Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software
Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software is a seminal software engineering book by the "Gang of Four" that catalogues foundational object-oriented design patterns widely used in software development.
F. None of above. chosen
G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
