Target lemma: problem
Target surface form: problems
Context:
The study is based on 195 personal interviews with senior officials of the social partners as representatives of national level peak organisations in fifteen European countries. As important industrial sectors, the metal industry and the banking sector were also included. Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were (left to right) Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission Fernando Gomes, a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler, Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles, Vice-President, European Parliament and John Carroll, Economic and Social Committee. Case Studies Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best present policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community. For each country, two or three initiatives have been selected for further in depth case study. These case studies analysed the background of the initiatives, their impact on employment patterns and work organisations and assessed the benefits and <t>problems</t> of the initiative. Visits and interviews with key personnel were also undertaken.

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) for the word "problems" in the given context.

Let me analyze the context:
- The text is about a study involving case studies of initiatives to improve recruitment, training and development of ageing workers
- "These case studies analysed the background of the initiatives, their impact on employment patterns and work organisations and assessed the benefits and <t>problems</t> of the initiative."

So the sentence structure is: "assessed the benefits and problems of the initiative"

This is contrasting benefits (positive outcomes) with problems (negative aspects/difficulties).

Now let's look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=problem%1:26:00:: | definition=a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved | synonyms=job | examples=she and her husband are having problems; it is always a job to contact him
   - This refers to a state of difficulty
   - Example: "having problems" suggests ongoing difficulties
   - In the context, "problems of the initiative" could mean difficulties associated with the initiative

2. sense_key=problem%1:10:00:: | definition=a question raised for consideration or solution | examples=our homework consisted of ten problems to solve
   - This refers to questions or puzzles to be solved
   - Like math problems or homework problems
   - Doesn't fit here because they're assessing the problems of an initiative (not solving questions)

3. sense_key=problem%1:09:00:: | definition=a source of difficulty | synonyms=trouble | examples=one trouble after another delayed the job; what's the problem?
   - This refers to a source of difficulty
   - Synonym: trouble
   - Example: "what's the problem?" means what's causing the difficulty

Now, comparing sense 1 and sense 3:
- Sense 1: "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved" - this is more about the condition/state of being difficult
- Sense 3: "a source of difficulty" - this is about what causes the difficulty

In the phrase "benefits and problems of the initiative":
- Benefits = positive outcomes/results
- Problems = negative outcomes/difficulties/issues

The phrase "problems of the initiative" suggests difficulties or troublesome aspects that arise from the initiative.

Looking at the examples:
- Sense 1 example: "she and her husband are having problems" - this is about experiencing difficulties (state)
- Sense 3 example: "one trouble after another delayed the job" - this is about sources of difficulty causing delays

In the context "assessed the benefits and problems", they are evaluating both the good and bad aspects. The "problems" here are difficulties or troublesome issues that come with the initiative.

Sense 3 seems to fit better because "problems" here are sources of difficulty or troublesome aspects of the initiative. However, sense 1 could also work as "states of difficulty."

Let me look more carefully at the WordNet hierarchy:
- problem%1:26:00:: - noun.state - a state of difficulty
- problem%1:10:00:: - noun.communication - a question raised for consideration
- problem%1:09:00:: - noun.cognition - a source of difficulty

In the context of assessing "benefits and problems" of an initiative, we're looking at the positive and negative aspects, outcomes, or issues. The word "problems" here is parallel to "benefits" - both are things that the initiative has or creates.

"Benefits" are positive results; "problems" are difficulties or negative aspects.

Sense 1 (state of difficulty) vs Sense 3 (source of difficulty):
- If I say "the problems of the initiative", I could mean:
  1. The difficulties that exist because of the initiative (state)
  2. The aspects of the initiative that cause difficulty (source)

Actually, looking at the examples again:
- Sense 1: "she and her husband are having problems" - personal difficulties, marital issues
- Sense 3: "one trouble after another" - things that cause difficulty

In the case study context, they are analyzing initiatives and assessing the benefits and problems. This sounds like they are identifying what works well (benefits) and what doesn't work well or causes difficulty (problems).

Sense 3 with synonym "trouble" seems most appropriate: "assessed the benefits and troubles of the initiative" - this makes sense as evaluating the good and bad aspects.

However, sense 1 is also plausible: "assessed the benefits and states of difficulty of the initiative."

But looking at typical usage in evaluation contexts: When we evaluate a program or initiative, we talk about its "problems" meaning the difficulties, issues, or challenges it presents or encounters. This aligns well with sense 3 (source of difficulty) or sense 1 (state of difficulty).

Wait, let me look at the exact wording again: "assessed the benefits and problems of the initiative."

In academic/policy contexts like this, when assessing an initiative, "problems" usually refers to difficulties, challenges, or negative aspects - essentially issues that need to be addressed.

Between sense 1 and 3:
- Sense 1 focuses on the state/condition of difficulty
- Sense 3 focuses on the source/cause of difficulty

In the phrase "problems of the initiative", the problems belong to the initiative - they are aspects or results of it. This could be interpreted either way, but "source of difficulty" (sense 3) seems to capture that the initiative creates or has these problematic aspects.

However, looking at the example for sense 1: "it is always a job to contact him" - this suggests that sense 1 includes general difficulties.

Let me reconsider the contrast with "benefits":
- Benefits = advantages, positive outcomes
- Problems = disadvantages, difficulties, negative outcomes

Both sense 1 and 3 could work, but I need to choose the best one.

Looking at the WordNet definitions more carefully:
- Sense 1: "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved" - this suggests an existing condition that requires resolution
- Sense 3: "a source of difficulty" - this suggests the origin or cause

In the context: "assessed the benefits and problems of the initiative" - when assessing an initiative, you identify its strengths (benefits) and weaknesses (problems). The problems are the difficulties or troublesome aspects.

Actually, looking at typical WSD datasets and the distinction:
- Sense 1 is often used for "have problems" (experiencing difficulty)
- Sense 3 is often used for "the problem is..." (identifying what is causing trouble)

But in the plural "problems", and paired with "benefits", this is likely sense 1 or 3.

Let me look at the examples provided:
- Sense 1: "she and her husband are having problems" - personal difficulties
- Sense 3: "one trouble after another delayed the job" - obstacles, sources of difficulty

In the evaluation context: "assessed the benefits and problems" - this is similar to "costs and benefits" or "pros and cons". The problems here are the negative aspects, difficulties, or challenges.

I think sense 3 is slightly better because "problems" here are things that cause difficulty (synonym trouble), whereas sense 1 is more about the state of having difficulty.

But actually, looking at the hypernyms might help:
- Sense 1: state (of difficulty)
- Sense 3: cognition (source of difficulty) - wait, that doesn't seem right for "source of difficulty"

Let me reconsider. In many WSD contexts:
- Sense 2 (homework problems) is clearly distinct - that's about questions/exercises.
- Sense 1 vs Sense 3 is trickier.

Actually, looking at the definition of sense 3 again: "a source of difficulty" with example "what's the problem?"
- "What's the problem?" asks what is causing the difficulty.
- "One trouble after another" - troubles are sources of difficulty.

For sense 1: "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved"
- "Having problems" - being in a state of difficulty
- "It is always a job to contact him" - contacting him is a difficult task (state/condition of difficulty)

In "assessed the problems of the initiative", are we assessing:
- States of difficulty associated with the initiative? (Sense 1)
- Sources of difficulty caused by the initiative? (Sense 3)

Given that this is about case studies analyzing initiatives, and they are looking at "benefits and problems", I think they mean the positive and negative outcomes/aspects. The "problems" are the difficulties, challenges, or negative issues.

Between the two, sense 1 ("a state of difficulty") seems to fit "problems" in the sense of "difficulties" or "issues" that exist. However, sense 3 ("source of difficulty") also fits as "troublesome aspects."

But looking at the synonym for sense 1: "job" (as in "it's a job to do something" = it's difficult). This suggests sense 1 is about difficult situations or conditions.

The synonym for sense 3: "trouble".

"Assessed the benefits and troubles of the initiative" - this works well.
"Assessed the benefits and [difficult states/conditions] of the initiative" - this also works.

However, in the plural "problems", and in the context of evaluating policies/initiatives, sense 3 (source of difficulty/trouble) might be more common. But I'm not entirely sure.

Let me think about the phrase "benefits and problems" as a collocation. When we list "benefits and problems", we mean advantages and disadvantages, or positive and negative aspects.

Actually, looking at the word "initiative" - an initiative is a plan or action. The "problems of the initiative" would be the difficulties it encounters or creates.

I think I should go with sense 3, because:
1. The synonym "trouble" fits well in context ("assessed the benefits and troubles")
2. In evaluation contexts, "problems" often refers to specific issues or sources of difficulty
3. Sense 1 with the example "having problems" suggests a more general state of affairs (like marital problems), whereas here we're talking about specific assessable aspects of an initiative

Wait, actually, looking at the example for sense 1 again: "it is always a job to contact him" - this is about specific tasks being difficult.

But I think the key is the contrast with "benefits". Benefits are positive results; problems are negative results/difficulties.

Let me check if there's any other clue. The text mentions "assessed the benefits and problems of the initiative" in the context of case studies analyzing employment patterns and work organisations.

In academic/policy writing, when discussing case studies, "problems" usually refers to challenges, difficulties, or issues - which could be either sense.

But looking at the WordNet senses again:
- 1:26:00 - noun.state - difficulty that needs resolution
- 1:09:00 - noun.cognition - source of difficulty

Actually, "source of difficulty" might be the better fit because the initiative has/create these problems (they are the source).

However, "state of difficulty" could also work because the initiative is in a state of having these problems.

I think I need to look at this differently. The phrase is "benefits and problems". This is a very common pairing. In WordNet, which sense is typically used for this?

Sense 1 is "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved". If something has benefits and problems, the problems are difficulties that need to be addressed.

Sense 3 is "a source of difficulty". This is more like "the problem is that we don't have enough money" - identifying the source.

In "assessed the problems", they are assessing what the difficulties are.

I think I'm overthinking this. Let me go with sense 3 because:
- The synonym "trouble" fits perfectly ("assessed the benefits and troubles")
- The definition "source of difficulty" captures that these are aspects of the initiative that cause difficulty
- Sense 1's example "having problems" suggests experiencing difficulties, which is less fitting for an inanimate "initiative" (initiatives don't "have" problems in the experiential sense, they "present" or "contain" problems)

Actually, initiatives can "have problems" in the sense of possessing problematic aspects.

But looking at the example "one trouble after another delayed the job" for sense 3 - this shows problems/troubles as things that hinder or cause difficulty, which fits the evaluation context (things that hinder the success of the initiative).

I'll go with sense 3.

Wait, I should double-check. Is there any possibility it's sense 2? "A question raised for consideration or solution" - like homework problems? No, definitely not. They're not solving math problems; they're assessing policy initiatives.

So it's between 1 and 3.

Let me look at the hypernym paths or typical usage one more time.

Sense 1: state → difficulty → problem
Sense 3: psychological feature → cognition → problem

Actually, looking at the definitions:
- Sense 1: "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved"
- Sense 3: "a source of difficulty"

If I say "the initiative has many problems":
- Under sense 1: the initiative is in a state of difficulty (multiple states?)
- Under sense 3: the initiative has many sources of difficulty

Both work, but "source of difficulty" seems to capture the meaning of "problematic aspect" better.

Also, in the context of "benefits and problems", benefits are good things you get, problems are bad things (sources of trouble) you encounter.

I think sense 3 is the best choice.

 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "Visits" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text is about case studies analyzing initiatives for ageing workers
 - "These case studies analysed the background of the initiatives..."
 - "Visits and interviews with key personnel were also undertaken"
 - This is describing research methodology - they conducted visits and interviews as part of the case studies

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=visit%1:04:02:: | definition=the act of going to see some person or place or thing for a short time | examples=he dropped by for a visit
    - This is a general, informal visit "dropped by"

 2. sense_key=visit%1:14:00:: | definition=a meeting arranged by the visitor to see someone (such as a doctor or lawyer) for treatment or advice | examples=he scheduled a visit to the dentist
    - This is for professional services (medical/legal consultation)

 3. sense_key=visit%1:04:01:: | definition=the act of visiting in an official capacity (as for an inspection)
    - This is official/inspection visits

 4. sense_key=visit%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of going to see some person in a professional capacity | examples=a visit to the dentist
    - Similar to #2 but maybe broader professional capacity

 5. sense_key=visit%1:04:03:: | definition=a temporary stay (e.g., as a guest) | synonyms=sojourn
    - This implies staying for a period of time, not just a meeting

 Context analysis:
 - The visits are part of case studies/research
 - They are paired with "interviews with key personnel"
 - This sounds like research visits, field visits, or official visits to gather information
 - It's not a casual drop-by (sense 1)
 - It's not a medical/dental appointment (senses 2 or 4)
 - It's not a temporary stay/sojourn (sense 5)
 - It seems to be visiting in an official capacity for the purpose of research/inspection (sense 3)

 Sense 3: "the act of visiting in an official capacity (as for an inspection)" fits best because:
 - The visits are part of official case studies
 - They are conducted by researchers/analysts
 - They involve interviewing key personnel
 - This is an official/inspection-type visit rather than a social or medical one

 Wait, let me reconsider sense 1 vs sense 3.
 Sense 1: "the act of going to see some person or place or thing for a short time" - this is very general
 Sense 3: "the act of visiting in an official capacity (as for an inspection)"

 The context mentions "national reports", "case studies", "key personnel" - this suggests an official, professional research context. The visits are part of a formal study, not just casual dropping by.

 However, looking at WordNet sense keys:
 - visit%1:04:00:: = professional capacity (like dentist)
 - visit%1:04:01:: = official capacity/inspection
 - visit%1:04:02:: = short time (dropped by)
 - visit%1:04:03:: = temporary stay

 The context describes research methodology for case studies. Researchers visiting sites to conduct interviews. This could be:
 - Sense 3 (official/inspection): because it's part of official research
 - Or sense 1 (short time): because it's just going to see for a short time

 But "interviews with key personnel" suggests a formal, professional research context. In academic or research contexts, when researchers go to organizations to conduct interviews as part of case studies, these are typically considered "field visits" or "site visits" in an official/professional capacity.

 Sense 3 specifically mentions "official capacity (as for an inspection)". Research visits for case studies are similar to inspections - they are going to examine, assess, and gather information in an official capacity.

 Sense 1 is too casual ("dropped by").

 So I think sense 3 (index 3) is the best choice.

 Wait, I need to check the indexing. The user lists:
 1. sense_key=visit%1:04:02::
 2. sense_key=visit%1:14:00::
 3. sense_key=visit%1:04:01::
 4. sense_key=visit%1:04:00::
 5. sense_key=visit%1:04:03::

 So:
 Index 1: visit%1:04:02:: (short time)
 Index 2: visit%1:14:00:: (meeting for treatment/advice)
 Index 3: visit%1:04:01:: (official capacity/inspection)
 Index 4: visit%1:04:00:: (professional capacity)
 Index 5: visit%1:04:03:: (temporary stay)

 Actually, looking at WordNet:
 - visit%1:04:00:: is usually the first sense (going to see someone in professional capacity)
 - visit%1:04:01:: is official capacity
 - visit%1:04:02:: is short time
 - visit%1:04:03:: is temporary stay

 But the user has provided specific indices. I should go by the order given:
 1. visit%1:04:02:: (short time)
 2. visit%1:14:00:: (meeting for treatment)
 3. visit%1:04:01:: (official capacity)
 4. visit%1:04:00:: (professional capacity)
 5. visit%1:04:03:: (temporary stay)

 So if I choose sense 3, I return {"sense_index": 3}

 Let me double-check if it could be sense 4 (professional capacity).
 Sense 4: "the act of going to see some person in a professional capacity" - examples "a visit to the dentist"
 This is about the visitor being the professional (dentist) or visiting a professional? Actually, looking at the example "a visit to the dentist", this is when you go see a professional service provider.

 Sense 3 is "official capacity (as for an inspection)" - this is when you represent an organization officially.

 In the context: "Visits and interviews with key personnel were also undertaken" as part of case studies for national reports. This is researchers visiting companies/organizations. This is an official visit for inspection/investigation/research purposes.

 Therefore, sense 3 (official capacity) is better than sense 4 (seeing a professional like a dentist).

 Sense 1 is too informal.

 So the answer should be index 3.

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) for the word "interviews" in the given context. I need to choose between two candidate senses:

1. sense_key=interview%1:10:01:: - questioning of a person/conversation to elicit information, often by journalists
2. sense_key=interview%1:10:00:: - a conference (usually with someone important), synonyms: consultation, audience

Context analysis:
The text is about case studies analyzing initiatives for ageing workers. It mentions "Visits and <t>interviews</t> with key personnel were also undertaken."

Key clues:
- "Visits and interviews with key personnel" suggests talking to important people involved in the initiatives
- The context is about gathering information for case studies (research/investigation)
- "Key personnel" are important people in the organizations being studied
- The purpose is to analyze background, impact, etc. - this suggests eliciting information

Comparing the senses:
Sense 1 (interview%1:10:01::): "the questioning of a person (or a conversation in which information is elicited); often conducted by journalists"
- This fits: interviews with key personnel to gather information for case studies
- Examples mention "interviews with teenagers" which is similar to interviews with personnel for research

Sense 2 (interview%1:10:00::): "a conference (usually with someone important)" with synonyms consultation, audience
- While key personnel are important, "conference" suggests a more formal meeting or audience
- The examples given are "consultation with the judge" and "audience with the king" - these imply seeking advice or formal meetings with high-ranking officials
- However, in the context of case study research, "interviews" typically means structured conversations to gather data, not necessarily formal audiences

The context suggests research methodology: case studies, analyzing background, visits and interviews. This aligns with sense 1 - questioning/conversation to elicit information.

While "key personnel" could suggest important people (fitting sense 2's "someone important"), the primary activity is gathering information for analysis, which is the core of sense 1. Also, sense 2's synonyms (consultation, audience) don't fit as well - you wouldn't typically say "audiences with key personnel" in a research context, but you would say "interviews with key personnel" meaning conversations to get information.

Therefore, sense 1 (index 1) is the best choice.

Wait, I need to check the indexing. The user provided:
1. sense_key=interview%1:10:01::
2. sense_key=interview%1:10:00::

So sense_index should be 1 or 2? The user says "Choose the single best indexed sense" and "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}."

Looking at the format, the first one is labeled with 1. and the second with 2., so I should return the index number (1 or 2).

Sense 1 is interview%1:10:01:: (questioning/conversation)
Sense 2 is interview%1:10:00:: (conference/audience)

I believe sense 1 is correct.

Let me double-check by looking at typical WordNet sense ordering. Usually, the most frequent sense comes first, but here the sense keys show:
- interview%1:10:00::
- interview%1:10:01::

The numbering in WordNet sense keys (the number after the third colon) usually indicates the sense number. So:
- 00 is sense 1
- 01 is sense 2

But the user has labeled them as:
1. sense_key=interview%1:10:01::
2. sense_key=interview%1:10:00::

So if I choose sense_key=interview%1:10:01::, that corresponds to index 1 in the list.
If I choose sense_key=interview%1:10:00::, that corresponds to index 2 in the list.

Given my analysis, sense 1 (interview%1:10:01:: - the questioning/conversation sense) is the correct one.

So the answer should be {"sense_index": 1}.

Wait, let me reconsider if it could be sense 2. "Key personnel" are important people. The definition says "a conference (usually with someone important)". Could this be formal meetings with important people?

However, the context is about case study methodology. In research methodology, "interviews" is a data collection technique involving structured or semi-structured conversations to elicit information. This maps clearly to sense 1.

Also, the example for sense 1 is "my interviews with teenagers revealed a weakening of religious bonds" - this is clearly research-oriented interviews to gather information, exactly matching the context of gathering information for case studies.

The examples for sense 2 are "he had a consultation with the judge; he requested an audience with the king" - these are about seeking formal meetings with authorities, which is different from research interviews.

Therefore, sense 1 is definitely correct.

Final check: The user says "Do not answer with a WordNet sense key." and "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}."

So I return {"sense_index": 1}.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "national" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text is about a social exclusion conference with various European officials
 - It mentions "Each national report contains a portfolio..."
 - Later it says "These <t>national</t> studies will form the basis of a European report..."

 The target word "national" appears in the phrase "These national studies" referring back to the "national report" mentioned earlier, and these studies are being contrasted with/synthesized into a "European report."

 So "national" here means pertaining to individual nations (countries) as opposed to the European level. It's referring to studies conducted at the country level that will be synthesized into a European-level report.

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=national%3:01:00:: | definition=of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country | examples=national hero; national anthem
    - This is a general sense of belonging to a nation.

 2. sense_key=national%3:00:00:: | definition=limited to or in the interests of a particular nation | examples=national interests; isolationism is a strictly national policy
    - This emphasizes limitation to a particular nation, often in contrast to international.

 3. sense_key=national%3:00:01:: | definition=concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country | examples=the national government; national elections
    - This refers to something applicable to the whole nation (as opposed to local/regional).

 4. sense_key=national%5:00:00:public:00 | definition=owned or maintained for the public by the national government | examples=national parks
    - Specific to government ownership.

 5. sense_key=national%5:00:00:domestic:00 | definition=inside the country | synonyms=home, interior, internal | examples=the British Home Office has broader responsibilities than the United States Department of the Interior; the nation's internal politics
    - This emphasizes "inside the country" as opposed to foreign/external.

 6. sense_key=national%3:01:02:: | definition=characteristic of or peculiar to the people of a nation | examples=a national trait
    - This refers to cultural characteristics.

 7. sense_key=national%3:01:01:: | definition=of or relating to nationality | examples=national origin
    - This refers to nationality in terms of citizenship/ethnicity.

 In the context, "national studies" refers to studies conducted at the level of individual nations (countries) that will be synthesized into a European report. The contrast is between national (country-level) and European (supranational).

 Sense 3 seems most appropriate: "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country" - these are studies belonging to/applicable to specific entire nations (countries), as opposed to being European-wide studies.

 Sense 1 is also possible but more general. Sense 3 specifically captures the "entire nation" aspect (as opposed to local) and fits well with the contrast between national and European levels.

 Sense 5 ("inside the country") could work but emphasizes the domestic vs. foreign distinction, which isn't the main contrast here. The contrast is national vs. European/supranational.

 Sense 2 emphasizes limitation to particular nations, which could work but the examples suggest a focus on interests/policy rather than reports/studies.

 Looking at the examples for sense 3: "the national government; national elections" - these refer to things at the national level as opposed to local or supranational. "National studies" fits this pattern - studies at the national level.

 Therefore, sense 3 (national%3:00:01::) appears to be the best choice.

 Wait, let me double-check the sense indices. The user lists them as:
 1. sense_key=national%3:01:00::
 2. sense_key=national%3:00:00::
 3. sense_key=national%3:00:01::
 4. sense_key=national%5:00:00:public:00
 5. sense_key=national%5:00:00:domestic:00
 6. sense_key=national%3:01:02::
 7. sense_key=national%3:01:01::

 So sense_index 3 corresponds to sense_key=national%3:00:01::.

 Actually, looking carefully at the text: "These national studies will form the basis of a European report"

 This clearly indicates that "national" here means "pertaining to individual nations" (countries) in contrast to "European".

 Sense 3: "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country" - this fits because the studies belong to specific entire nations (countries).

 Sense 1: "of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country" - also fits, but is more general.

 However, looking at the WordNet hierarchy, sense 3 (3:00:01) is the specific sense for "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country" which is typically used for things like "national government", "national elections" - i.e., at the national level vs. local or international.

 In this context, the "national studies" are studies from individual countries (nations) that will be synthesized into a European report. This fits sense 3 best - studies belonging to/applicable to entire nations.

 But I should verify if sense 5 could be better. Sense 5 is "inside the country" with synonyms home, interior, internal. This is more about domestic vs. foreign. The text isn't talking about domestic vs. foreign affairs, but rather country-level vs. EU-level.

 So sense 3 is better than sense 5.

 Between sense 1 and sense 3: sense 1 is "of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country" (examples: national hero, national anthem). Sense 3 is "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country" (examples: national government, national elections).

 The examples for sense 3 (national government, national elections) suggest things that encompass the whole nation, as opposed to local. The "national studies" here are studies at the national level (as opposed to the European level), which aligns with sense 3.

 Actually, looking at the WordNet definitions more carefully:
 - Sense 1 (3:01:00): "of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country" - this is the relational adjective
 - Sense 3 (3:00:01): "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country" - this emphasizes the scope (entire nation)

 Given the context contrasts national (country) level with European level, emphasizing the scope (entire nation vs. supranational), sense 3 seems most appropriate.

 However, I should consider if sense 2 could fit: "limited to or in the interests of a particular nation". The studies are limited to particular nations (as opposed to being European-wide), so this could work. But the examples "national interests; isolationism is a strictly national policy" suggest a focus on self-interest or exclusivity, which doesn't quite fit "national studies" in this context.

 Therefore, I conclude sense 3 is the best choice.

 Wait, I need to make sure about the indexing. The user lists:
 1. sense_key=national%3:01:00::
 2. sense_key=national%3:00:00::
 3. sense_key=national%3:00:01::
 ...

 So the answer should be {"sense_index": 3}.

 Let me reconsider if there's any ambiguity. The phrase is "These national studies will form the basis of a European report". This strongly implies that "national" means "at the level of individual nations/countries".

 In WordNet, the sense for "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country" (sense 3) is the one used for "national government", "national elections" - i.e., nationwide as opposed to local or regional. But here it's national vs. European. Still, the sense of "belonging to an entire nation" fits - these are studies that belong to entire nations (as units).

 Actually, looking at the text again: "Each national report contains..." and "These national studies..." - the reports/studies are national in the sense that they are from/for specific nations.

 I think sense 3 is correct.

 But let me check if sense 1 could be argued. Sense 1 is "of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country". This is broader. But the examples "national hero; national anthem" suggest things that represent or are symbols of the nation, whereas "national studies" are studies conducted at the national level.

 Sense 3 with examples "national government; national elections" is more about the level/scope, which matches "national studies" better.

 So I'll go with index 3.

 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "studies" (lemma: study) in the given context.

Let me analyze the context:
- The text is about a social exclusion conference and various reports/studies.
- "These national <t>studies</t> will form the basis of a European report which synthesises overall practices."
- The surrounding context mentions: "Each national report contains a portfolio...", "case studies", "national report", "European report", "casebook of initiatives".

Key clues:
- The word "studies" refers to "national studies" that will form the basis of a European report.
- These are documents/reports that analyze initiatives.
- The text mentions "These case studies analysed the background..." - so "studies" here refers to documented analyses or reports.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. study%1:04:00:: - a detailed critical inspection (synonyms: survey) - This could fit but seems more like the act of inspecting.
2. study%1:09:03:: - applying the mind to learning (synonyms: work) - This is about the activity of studying, not the resulting document.
3. study%1:10:00:: - a written document describing the findings of some individual or group (synonyms: report, written report) - This fits perfectly. The "national studies" are written documents that will form the basis of a report.
4. study%1:09:04:: - a state of deep mental absorption - Not relevant here.
5. study%1:06:00:: - a room - Not relevant.
6. study%1:09:02:: - a branch of knowledge - Not relevant (this would be like "the study of biology").
7. study%1:06:01:: - preliminary drawing - Not relevant.
8. study%1:09:01:: - attentive consideration and meditation - Not relevant.
9. study%1:18:00:: - someone who memorizes - Not relevant.
10. study%1:10:01:: - a composition for developing technique - Not relevant.

The context clearly indicates that "national studies" refers to written documents or reports. The text explicitly mentions that these studies will form the basis of a "European report" and mentions "report and a casebook". The phrase "These national studies" refers back to the case studies mentioned earlier, which are described as documents containing analysis.

Sense 3 (study%1:10:00::) has the definition "a written document describing the findings of some individual or group" with synonyms "report, written report". This matches perfectly with "national studies" that will form the basis of a European report.

Sense 1 could be a possibility (detailed critical inspection), but in the context of forming the basis of a report and being described as "national studies" that are written documents (mentioned alongside "national report"), sense 3 is much better.

The examples for sense 3: "this accords with the recent study by Hill and Dale" - this shows "study" used as a noun referring to a published research document, which matches the context here.

Therefore, the best sense index is 3

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "form" in the given context.

Context analysis:
"These national studies will <t>form</t> the basis of a European report which synthesises overall practices."

The sentence means that these national studies will constitute/make up/serve as the basis of a European report.

Let's look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=form%2:41:00:: | definition=create (as an entity) | synonyms=organize, organise | examples=social groups form everywhere; They formed a company
- This is about creating/organizing something. The studies aren't creating the basis as an entity in the sense of organizing. They're making up the basis.

2. sense_key=form%2:42:00:: | definition=to compose or represent: | synonyms=constitute, make | examples=This wall forms the background of the stage setting; The branches made a roof
- "to compose or represent" - "These national studies will form the basis" = the studies constitute/make up the basis. This fits very well. The example "This wall forms the background" is structurally parallel: X forms Y, where X is a part/component that makes up Y.

3. sense_key=form%2:42:02:: | definition=develop into a distinctive entity | synonyms=take form, take shape, spring | examples=our plans began to take shape
- This is intransitive or about developing. "These studies will form the basis" - the studies aren't developing into a basis.

4. sense_key=form%2:30:01:: | definition=give shape or form to | synonyms=shape | examples=shape the dough; form the young child's character
- This is about actively shaping something. The studies don't shape the basis; they are the basis.

5. sense_key=form%2:36:00:: | definition=make something, usually for a specific function | synonyms=shape, work, mold, mould, forge | examples=She molded the rice balls carefully; Form cylinders from the dough
- Physical making/crafting. Not applicable.

6. sense_key=form%2:41:02:: | definition=establish or impress firmly in the mind | synonyms=imprint | examples=We imprint our ideas onto our children
- Mental imprinting. Not applicable.

7. sense_key=form%2:30:05:: | definition=assume a form or shape | examples=the water formed little beads
- Intransitive: the studies assume the shape of a basis? No.

So sense 2 is clearly the best fit. The structure "X forms Y" where X constitutes Y is exactly what we see in "These national studies will form the basis of a European report."

The answer should be JSON: {"sense_index": 2}

 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "basis" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text is about a social exclusion conference and case studies about initiatives for ageing workers.
 - The specific sentence is: "These national studies will form the <t>basis</t> of a European report which synthesises overall practices."
 - The meaning here is that the national studies will serve as the foundation or groundwork for the European report.

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=basis%1:24:00:: | definition=a relation that provides the foundation for something | synonyms=footing, ground | examples=they were on a friendly footing; he worked on an interim basis
    - This seems to relate to the manner or status of something (e.g., "on a friendly footing", "on an interim basis")
    - The context here isn't about a relation or manner of working, but about forming the foundation of a report

 2. sense_key=basis%1:09:00:: | definition=the fundamental assumptions from which something is begun or developed or calculated or explained | synonyms=base, foundation, fundament, groundwork, cornerstone | examples=the whole argument rested on a basis of conjecture
    - This refers to fundamental assumptions or starting points for arguments, theories, calculations
    - The context is about studies forming the foundation of a report - this could fit, but let me check sense 3

 3. sense_key=basis%1:24:01:: | definition=the most important or necessary part of something | synonyms=base | examples=the basis of this drink is orange juice
    - This refers to the main component or essential part of something
    - In the context, the national studies are forming the foundation/main component of the European report

 Let me think more carefully about the distinction between sense 2 and sense 3.

 Sense 2 (basis%1:09:00::) is in the "cognition" lexicographer file (indicated by %1:09), dealing with fundamental assumptions, theoretical foundations, starting points for reasoning.

 Sense 3 (basis%1:24:01::) is in the "relation" lexicographer file (indicated by %1:24), dealing with the main component or necessary part of something.

 Sense 1 (basis%1:24:00::) is also in "relation" but seems to be about the status/footing (like "on a regular basis").

 In the sentence "These national studies will form the basis of a European report", the meaning is that the studies will constitute the foundation or main component upon which the report is built.

 Looking at the examples:
 - Sense 2 example: "the whole argument rested on a basis of conjecture" - this is about theoretical foundation/assumption
 - Sense 3 example: "the basis of this drink is orange juice" - this is about the main ingredient/component

 The context here is that the national studies will form the foundation/substance of the report. This seems closer to sense 2 (foundation, groundwork) or sense 3 (main part).

 Actually, looking more carefully at WordNet:
 - Sense 1:24:00 is "a relation that provides the foundation for something" - synonyms: footing, ground. This is about being on a certain footing/status.
 - Sense 1:09:00 is "the fundamental assumptions from which something is begun or developed or calculated or explained" - synonyms: base, foundation, fundament, groundwork, cornerstone. This is about cognitive/theoretical foundations.
 - Sense 1:24:01 is "the most important or necessary part of something" - synonyms: base. Example: "the basis of this drink is orange juice."

 In the context "form the basis of a European report", the national studies are serving as the foundation or groundwork for the report. This aligns well with sense 2 (foundation, groundwork, fundament).

 However, sense 3 could also work if we interpret it as the studies being the main component of the report.

 But looking at the gloss for sense 3: "the most important or necessary part of something" - this is more about composition (like ingredients in a drink). The report is not composed of the studies in a physical sense, but rather built upon them as a foundation.

 Sense 2 emphasizes "fundamental assumptions from which something is begun or developed" - the studies are the starting point/fundamental material from which the report is developed.

 Actually, looking at the example for sense 2: "the whole argument rested on a basis of conjecture" - this shows that "basis" here is the underlying support/reasoning.

 For sense 3: "the basis of this drink is orange juice" - this shows the main constituent.

 In our context, the studies are not the physical constituents of the report (like orange juice in a drink), but rather the foundational material upon which the report is constructed. This is more abstract - it's the information foundation.

 So sense 2 seems better: "the fundamental assumptions from which something is begun or developed" - here the studies are the foundational material/data from which the report is developed.

 Wait, let me reconsider sense 1. The example "he worked on an interim basis" suggests sense 1 is about the manner or terms on which something is done (interim basis, friendly footing).

 So it's between sense 2 and 3.

 Looking at the synonyms:
 - Sense 2: base, foundation, fundament, groundwork, cornerstone
 - Sense 3: base

 The context "form the basis of" strongly suggests "foundation" or "groundwork". The phrase "form the basis" is very close to "form the foundation".

 Also, the report "synthesises overall practices" based on these studies, suggesting the studies are the foundational material for the synthesis.

 I think sense 2 (basis%1:09:00::) is the best fit.

 But let me double-check by looking at typical usage patterns:
 - "on a regular basis" -> sense 1
 - "the basis of the theory/argument" -> sense 2 (fundamental assumptions)
 - "the basis of the drink" -> sense 3 (main ingredient)

 Here we have "form the basis of a report". A report is built upon studies as its foundation. This is closer to theoretical/cognitive foundation (sense 2) than to compositional basis (sense 3).

 Actually, looking at WordNet more carefully:
 - Sense 1:24:00 (relation) - "a relation that provides the foundation for something"
 - Sense 1:09:00 (cognition) - "the fundamental assumptions..."
 - Sense 1:24:01 (relation) - "the most important or necessary part of something"

 The distinction between 1:24:00 and 1:24:01 is subtle. Both are under "relation" (noun.relation).

 But 1:09:00 is under "cognition" (noun.cognition).

 In the context, are we talking about a cognitive foundation (assumptions, starting points for reasoning) or a relational foundation (the studies stand in a relation to the report as its base)?

 The phrase "form the basis" suggests the studies become the foundation. This is likely sense 2.

 However, I should verify with the examples given:
 - Sense 2 example: "the whole argument rested on a basis of conjecture"
 - Sense 3 example: "the basis of this drink is orange juice"

 Our sentence: "These national studies will form the basis of a European report"

 This is structurally similar to "the basis of this drink is orange juice" (X is the basis of Y), but semantically closer to "the argument rested on a basis of conjecture" (Y is built upon X as foundation).

 Actually, "form the basis" is an active construction where the studies become the basis. "The basis of the report is the studies" vs "The studies form the basis of the report".

 If I compare to the drink example: "Orange juice forms the basis of this drink" - this would be sense 3.

 But "The data forms the basis of our theory" - this would likely be sense 2.

 In our case, national studies (data/research) form the basis of a report. This is more like data forming the basis of a theory/report (sense 2 - cognitive foundation) rather than an ingredient forming the basis of a drink (sense 3 - compositional).

 Also, the report "synthesises overall practices" - synthesis implies working from foundational elements to create something new, which fits the "begun or developed" aspect of sense 2.

 Therefore, I choose sense 2.

 Wait, I need to be careful about the indexing. The user lists:

 So sense 2 is basis%1:09:00::.

 But let me reconsider if it could be sense 1. "On a friendly footing" - no, that doesn't fit. "On an interim basis" - this is about the manner or terms, not applicable here.

 So it's between 2 and 3.

 One more check: WordNet 3.1 or similar versions might have slightly different organizations, but based on the provided glosses:

 Sense 2: "the fundamental assumptions from which something is begun or developed or calculated or explained"
 - The national studies are the fundamental material from which the report is developed (synthesised).

 Sense 3: "the most important or necessary part of something"
 - The studies are the most important part of the report? Not exactly - the report contains the synthesis, not just the studies. The studies are the input/foundation, not the component part.

 Therefore, sense 2 is correct.

 Final check: The user wants the output as {"sense_index": 2}.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "report" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text is about a social exclusion conference with various speakers from European institutions
 - It mentions "Each national report contains a portfolio..."
 - It talks about "These national studies will form the basis of a European report which synthesises overall practices."
 - It mentions "The report and a casebook of initiatives will be published in 1996..."

 So the target word "report" here refers to a document that synthesizes findings from national studies. It's a written document describing findings.

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=report%1:10:03:: | definition=a written document describing the findings of some individual or group | synonyms=study, written report | examples=this accords with the recent study by Hill and Dale
 - This seems to fit perfectly. It's a written document describing findings (of the national studies).

 2. sense_key=report%1:10:01:: | definition=the act of informing by verbal report | synonyms=account | examples=he heard reports that they were causing trouble; by all accounts they were a happy couple
 - This is about the act of informing verbally, not a physical document. The context mentions publishing in 1996, so it's a document.

 3. sense_key=report%1:10:00:: | definition=a short account of the news | synonyms=news report, story, account, write up | examples=the report of his speech; the story was on the 11 o'clock news
 - This is specifically about news reports. The context is about a European report synthesizing practices from national studies, not a news item.

 4. sense_key=report%1:11:00:: | definition=a sharp explosive sound (especially the sound of a gun firing) | examples=they heard a violent report followed by silence
 - This is about sound/gunfire. Completely wrong context.

 5. sense_key=report%1:10:04:: | definition=a written evaluation of a student's scholarship and deportment | synonyms=report card | examples=his father signed his report card
 - This is specifically about school report cards. Wrong context.

 6. sense_key=report%1:10:02:: | definition=an essay (especially one written as an assignment) | synonyms=composition, paper, theme | examples=he got an A on his composition
 - This is about a school essay/assignment. While it's a written document, the context is about official findings from studies, not a student essay.

 7. sense_key=report%1:09:00:: | definition=the general estimation that the public has for a person | synonyms=reputation | examples=he acquired a reputation as an actor before he started writing; he was a person of bad report
 - This is about reputation. Wrong context.

 The best fit is sense 1: "a written document describing the findings of some individual or group"

 The context mentions:
 - "national report" (written document)
 - "European report which synthesises overall practices" (describing findings)
 - "will be published in 1996" (written document)

 This matches sense 1 perfectly.

 The index for this sense in the candidate list is 1 (the first one).

 Wait, let me check the indexing. The user lists:
 1. sense_key=report%1:10:03::
 2. sense_key=report%1:10:01::
 3. sense_key=report%1:10:00::
 4. sense_key=report%1:11:00::
 5. sense_key=report%1:10:04::
 6. sense_key=report%1:10:02::
 7. sense_key=report%1:09:00::

 So sense 1 in the list is report%1:10:03:: which is "a written document describing the findings of some individual or group".

 This is definitely the correct sense.

 I need to return: {"sense_index": 1}

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "overall" in the given context.

Target word: "overall"
Context: "...These national studies will form the basis of a European report which synthesises <t>overall</t> practices."

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=overall%5:00:00:general:00 | definition=involving only main features | examples=the overall pattern of his life
2. sense_key=overall%5:00:00:gross:00 | definition=including everything | examples=the overall cost

Let me analyze the context:
- The sentence is about national studies forming the basis of a European report
- The report "synthesises overall practices"
- This means the report synthesizes practices that are comprehensive, covering everything, or general across the board

Looking at the two senses:
Sense 1: "involving only main features" - This suggests a general pattern, focusing on main features rather than details. Example: "the overall pattern of his life"

Sense 2: "including everything" - This suggests comprehensive, total, gross. Example: "the overall cost"

In the context "synthesises overall practices":
- "Overall practices" here likely means practices in general, or comprehensive practices across all areas
- But let's look more carefully...

The text discusses:
- National reports containing portfolios of initiatives
- Case studies analyzing initiatives
- These form the basis of a European report which synthesizes "overall practices"

Does "overall" here mean:
A) General practices (involving only main features, general patterns)?
B) Total/comprehensive practices (including everything)?

The phrase "synthesises overall practices" suggests bringing together practices from various countries to form a comprehensive or general picture.

However, looking at the examples:
- Sense 1 example: "the overall pattern of his life" - this refers to a general pattern
- Sense 2 example: "the overall cost" - this refers to total cost including everything

In the context of "practices", "overall practices" could mean:
- General practices (broad, main features)
- Comprehensive practices (including all aspects)

But looking at the flow: The national studies synthesize practices from different countries. A European report would synthesize these into an "overall" view - meaning a general, comprehensive view.

Wait, let me reconsider the exact phrase: "synthesises <t>overall</t> practices"

Actually, looking at the syntax: "synthesises overall practices" - this could mean:
1. Synthesizes practices that are overall (i.e., general/comprehensive practices)
2. Synthesizes, in an overall manner, practices

But given the position, it's modifying "practices", so it's an adjective meaning "general" or "comprehensive".

Between the two senses:
- Sense 1 (general): involving only main features
- Sense 2 (gross): including everything

"Overall practices" in the context of a European report synthesizing national studies suggests practices viewed as a whole, general practices, or comprehensive practices.

But which sense fits better?

Sense 2 "including everything" seems to fit "overall cost" (total cost).
Sense 1 "involving only main features" seems to fit "overall pattern" (general pattern).

In the context of academic/policy writing about "practices", "overall practices" likely refers to general practices or comprehensive practices across the board.

However, looking at the specific context: The report synthesizes practices from various national studies. So it's creating an overall (comprehensive/general) synthesis of practices.

But let's look at the exact WordNet definitions more carefully. These look like adjective senses.

Sense 1: "involving only main features" - This is like "broad", "general"
Sense 2: "including everything" - This is like "total", "gross", "comprehensive"

In the phrase "overall practices", if we mean practices in general (as opposed to specific ones), that's Sense 1.
If we mean practices taken as a whole including all aspects, that's Sense 2.

Given that the report is synthesizing multiple national studies, and will provide a European perspective, "overall practices" likely refers to the general, broad practices across Europe - the main features/patterns.

But wait, "synthesises overall practices" - the practices themselves are being synthesized. So the report synthesizes practices to create an overall picture? Or it synthesizes overall (i.e., comprehensive) practices?

Actually, reading carefully: "These national studies will form the basis of a European report which synthesises overall practices."

I think "overall" here means "general" or "comprehensive" in the sense of "taken as a whole".

But let's look at the examples again:
- Sense 1: "the overall pattern of his life" - general pattern
- Sense 2: "the overall cost" - total cost

"Overall practices" is more like "overall pattern" than "overall cost". Practices are not typically summed like costs. You don't calculate a "total" of practices in a numerical sense. Rather, you look at the general/broad practices.

Therefore, Sense 1 seems more appropriate: "involving only main features" i.e., general, broad practices.

But I should verify if there's any other interpretation. Could it mean "including everything" as in "comprehensive practices covering all aspects"?

In policy contexts, "overall practices" often means "general practices" or "broad practices".

Also, looking at the word "synthesises" - to synthesize means to combine into a coherent whole. So synthesizing overall practices would mean bringing together practices to show the general/comprehensive picture.

Between the two, Sense 1 (general, involving main features) seems slightly better for "practices" in an academic synthesis context, but Sense 2 (including everything) could also work for "comprehensive".

However, looking at standard WordNet sense distinctions for "overall":
- Sense 1 usually corresponds to "general" or "broad"
- Sense 2 usually corresponds to "total" or "gross"

"Overall practices" = practices in general, the general run of practices.

I think Sense 1 is the better choice.

Wait, I should check if there's a pattern in how these senses are used. "Overall" as "including everything" is often used with quantities (cost, effect, result, impact). "Overall" as "involving only main features" is used with patterns, structures, views.

"Practices" is closer to "patterns" than to "costs" in terms of countability and abstractness.

Therefore, Sense 1.

But let me reconsider the context once more. The report synthesizes practices from case studies across different countries. This would create an overall (comprehensive) view of practices. But the word modifies "practices" directly.

Actually, looking at similar usages:
- "overall approach" - usually means general approach (Sense 1)
- "overall strategy" - usually means general strategy (Sense 1)
- "overall impression" - general impression (Sense 1)
- "overall effect" - could be total effect (Sense 2) or general effect (Sense 1)

"Overall practices" is likely similar to "overall approach" or "overall pattern".

I will go with Sense 1.

One final check: The definition for Sense 1 is "involving only main features". Does "overall practices" involve only main features? Or does it include everything?

In the context: "synthesises overall practices" from national reports... The national reports contain detailed case studies. The European report synthesizes these into overall practices - meaning it generalizes from the specific cases to the general practices.

Yes, Sense 1.

Therefore: {"sense_index": 1}

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "practices" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text is about a social exclusion conference and case studies about initiatives for improving recruitment, training and development of ageing workers.
 - The specific sentence is: "These national studies will form the basis of a European report which synthesises overall <t>practices</t>."
 - The context mentions "policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers"
 - It mentions "a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best present policies and practices"
 - It mentions synthesizing "overall practices" from national studies

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=practice%1:04:00:: | definition=a customary way of operation or behavior | synonyms=pattern | examples=it is their practice to give annual raises; they changed their dietary pattern
 - This refers to customary ways or habitual behaviors. In the context, they're talking about policies and practices regarding employment of ageing workers. This could fit - referring to customary ways of doing things in different countries.

 2. sense_key=practice%1:04:02:: | definition=systematic training by multiple repetitions | synonyms=exercise, drill, practice session, recitation | examples=practice makes perfect
 - This is about training or drilling, like practicing piano. Doesn't fit the context about employment policies and workplace practices.

 3. sense_key=practice%1:04:04:: | definition=translating an idea into action | synonyms=praxis | examples=a hard theory to put into practice; differences between theory and praxis of communism
 - This is about the application of theory to practice (praxis). The context mentions "policies and practices" which suggests a distinction between policy (theory/plan) and practice (actual implementation). However, the specific phrase is "synthesises overall practices" referring to the actual methods/approaches used in different countries.

 4. sense_key=practice%1:04:03:: | definition=the exercise of a profession | examples=the practice of the law; I took over his practice when he retired
 - This refers to practicing a profession (like law or medicine). Doesn't fit here.

 5. sense_key=practice%1:09:00:: | definition=knowledge of how something is usually done | examples=it is not the local practice to wear shorts to dinner
 - This refers to knowledge of customs or conventions. This is similar to sense 1 but focuses on the knowledge rather than the behavior itself.

 Looking at the context more carefully:
 - "policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers"
 - "synthesises overall practices"

 The word "practices" here refers to the actual methods, procedures, or customary ways of operating in different countries regarding the employment and training of ageing workers.

 Sense 1 (customary way of operation or behavior) seems most appropriate. The text is talking about how different countries handle the recruitment and training of ageing workers - their customary ways of operation.

 Sense 3 (translating an idea into action/praxis) could be argued because there's a contrast with "policies" (which could be seen as theory), but "practices" in the plural form referring to various national approaches fits better with sense 1 - the customary ways or methods used.

 Sense 5 is about knowledge of how things are done, but here "practices" refers to the actual practices themselves being synthesized into a report.

 The phrase "policies and practices" is a common collocation where "practices" refers to actual operational methods or customary behaviors (sense 1).

 Also, looking at the example for sense 1: "it is their practice to give annual raises" - this is similar to how countries have practices regarding worker training.

 The example for sense 3: "a hard theory to put into practice" - this uses "practice" as a mass noun or abstract concept, but in the target context, "practices" is plural and refers to specific methods/approaches from different countries.

 Therefore, sense 1 (practice%1:04:00::) is the best fit.

 Wait, let me reconsider sense 3 vs sense 1.

 Sense 3 definition: "translating an idea into action" - this is about the application of theory.
 Sense 1 definition: "a customary way of operation or behavior" - this is about habitual or standard ways of doing things.

 In the context: "policies and practices to improve the recruitment..." and "synthesises overall practices"

 The report is synthesizing the various ways different countries handle ageing workers. These are their customary operational methods - sense 1.

 Also, sense 1 has synonym "pattern" and the example mentions "dietary pattern" - this fits with the idea of employment patterns mentioned in the text ("their impact on employment patterns").

 Actually, looking at the text again: "which best present policies and practices to improve the recruitment, training and development of ageing workers"

 This is referring to initiatives that show both the policy frameworks and the actual customary ways (practices) of implementing them.

 I think sense 1 is correct.

 But let me check if there's any chance it's sense 4 (exercise of a profession)? No, that doesn't fit.

 Sense 2 is clearly about training/drilling - not relevant.

 So it's between 1 and 3.

 Sense 3 (praxis) is often used in philosophical or theoretical contexts contrasting with theory. While "policies and practices" does contrast policy with implementation, in common bureaucratic/EU usage, "practices" usually means "customary ways of doing things" or "standard procedures" - which is sense 1.

 Also, the plural form "practices" is more commonly used with sense 1 (customary ways) than sense 3 (which is usually singular "practice" as in "put into practice").

 Therefore, I choose sense 1.

 Wait, I need to be careful. The user asks for the sense_index. Looking at the candidate list:
 1. sense_key=practice%1:04:00::
 2. sense_key=practice%1:04:02::
 3. sense_key=practice%1:04:04::
 4. sense_key=practice%1:04:03::
 5. sense_key=practice%1:09:00::

 So the indices are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

 I believe the answer is sense_index: 1.

 But let me double-check sense 5: "knowledge of how something is usually done" - this is about knowing the custom, not the custom itself. The text is synthesizing the actual practices (the methods), not just knowledge about them.

 So yes, sense 1.

 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "report" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text discusses "Each national report contains a portfolio..."
 - It mentions "These national studies will form the basis of a European report which synthesises overall practices."
 - "The <t>report</t> and a casebook of initiatives will be published in 1996..."

 The target word "report" appears in the phrase "The report and a casebook of initiatives will be published in 1996..."

 Looking at the context:
 - It's referring to a document that synthesizes practices from national studies
 - It will be published (suggesting a written document)
 - It's paired with a "casebook of initiatives"
 - Earlier it mentions "Each national report contains..." suggesting these are formal documents describing findings

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=report%1:10:03:: | definition=a written document describing the findings of some individual or group | synonyms=study, written report | examples=this accords with the recent study by Hill and Dale
    - This fits well. The context describes a document that synthesizes findings from national studies, to be published. It's a written document describing findings.

 2. sense_key=report%1:10:01:: | definition=the act of informing by verbal report | synonyms=account | examples=he heard reports that they were causing trouble; by all accounts they were a happy couple
    - This is about the act of informing verbally, not a physical document to be published. Doesn't fit.

 3. sense_key=report%1:10:00:: | definition=a short account of the news | synonyms=news report, story, account, write up | examples=the report of his speech; the story was on the 11 o'clock news
    - This is about news reports/media. The context is about academic/research reports, not news.

 4. sense_key=report%1:11:00:: | definition=a sharp explosive sound (especially the sound of a gun firing) | examples=they heard a violent report followed by silence
    - Completely wrong context.

 5. sense_key=report%1:10:04:: | definition=a written evaluation of a student's scholarship and deportment | synonyms=report card | examples=his father signed his report card
    - This is specifically about school report cards. Not relevant here.

 6. sense_key=report%1:10:02:: | definition=an essay (especially one written as an assignment) | synonyms=composition, paper, theme | examples=he got an A on his composition
    - While this is a written document, it's specifically about student essays/assignments. The context is about formal research/policy documents, not student assignments.

 7. sense_key=report%1:09:00:: | definition=the general estimation that the public has for a person | synonyms=reputation | examples=he acquired a reputation as an actor before he started writing; he was a person of bad report
    - This is about reputation. Not relevant.

 So sense 1 is clearly the best fit: "a written document describing the findings of some individual or group"

 The context mentions:
 - "Each national report contains a portfolio..."
 - "European report which synthesises overall practices"
 - Will be published
 - Contains case studies and analysis

 This matches sense 1 perfectly: a written document describing findings.

 The answer should be: {"sense_index": 1}
