What is disambiguation and why is it one of the columns on my istock's sales page?

It refers to the removal of ambiguity. I think wikipedia made the term popular. Taking a term or word that could refer to several things and breaking it down into possible meanings (or wiki entries).

On iStock it means that their servers look at your supplied keyword and ask you what you meant. I.e. you give them 'orange' and the site asks you whether you mean the colour or the fruit.
