How this entity was disambiguated

This entity first appeared as the object of triple T11656046 — 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: W3C SOAP specification
Context triple: [SOAP API, governedBy, W3C SOAP specification]

A. WSDL
WSDL (Web Services Description Language) is an XML-based language used to formally describe the interfaces, operations, and message formats of web services so they can be discovered and invoked by clients.
B. WS-* specifications
WS-* specifications are a family of interoperable web service standards that define protocols for security, reliability, transactions, and messaging in service-oriented architectures.
C. W3C Web Services Architecture
W3C Web Services Architecture is a W3C-defined conceptual framework that outlines the principles, components, and interactions underlying interoperable web services on the World Wide Web.
D. USOAP
USOAP is an ICAO program that systematically audits and monitors countries’ civil aviation safety oversight systems to ensure compliance with international standards.
E. JAX-WS
JAX-WS is a Java API for building and consuming SOAP-based web services, providing annotations and tools to simplify web service development in Java EE and SE environments.
F. None of above. chosen
G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
