Target lemma: organisation
Target surface form: organisations
Context:
The Foundation has recently been involved in organising a conference which dealt with this critical challenge. Over 100 participants from the main interest groups attended and debated issues such as the role of key actors including public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community <t>organisations</t> as well as service users. There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=organisation%1:14:01:: | definition=the persons (or committees or departments etc.) who make up a body for the purpose of administering something | synonyms=administration, governance, governing body, establishment, brass, organization | examples=he claims that the present administration is corrupt; the governance of an association is responsible to its members

reasoning_content:
The context talks about "service users" and "service planning" and "service provision" in the context of public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community organisations. This is about social services - work done that benefits others, particularly in a social welfare context.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=service%1:04:08:: | definition=work done by one person or group that benefits another | examples=budget separately for goods and services
2. sense_key=service%1:04:00:: | definition=an act of help or assistance | examples=he did them a service

Both 1 and 2 seem plausible. "Service users" and "service provision" refer to services as in the provision of help/assistance/work for others.

Sense 1: "work done by one person or group that benefits another" - this seems to be more about the general concept of services as in "goods and services" - economic/social services.
Sense 2: "an act of help or assistance" - this is more about a specific act of helping.

"Service users" typically refers to people who use services (health services, social services, etc.). "Service provision" refers to the providing of services. "Service planning" refers to planning of services.

In the context of public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community organisations, "service" refers to the organized provision of work/activities that benefit others - this is sense 1, which is about services as a collective concept (like "goods and services").

Actually, let me reconsider. Sense 1 is "work done by one person or group that benefits another" - this is the general sense of service as an activity/work. Sense 2 is "an act of help or assistance" which is more specific.

"Service users" = people who use the services provided (work done by organizations that benefits users)
"Service planning" = planning of these services
"Service provision" = the providing of these services

This is the general sense of services as organized activities provided to benefit others. Sense 1 fits best because it refers to work/services as a general concept, similar to "goods and services."

I'll go with sense 1.

The user wants me to pick a sense index between 1 and 15. Let me re-evaluate.

The context talks about "service users" and "service planning" and "service provision" in the context of public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community organisations. This is about services provided to people - work done that benefits another.

Sense 1: "work done by one person or group that benefits another" - examples: "budget separately for goods and services"
Sense 2: "an act of help or assistance" - examples: "he did them a service"

"Service users" in this context refers to people who use/benefit from services. "Service planning" and "service provision" are about organizing and providing services. This fits best with sense 1 - "work done by one person or group that benefits another."

Here, "cases" refers to instances or occurrences of attempts to involve users in service planning. This matches sense 1: "an occurrence of something" (instance, example). The example given for sense 1 is "it was a case of bad judgment; another instance occurred yesterday" - which aligns with the meaning of "cases" as instances/examples of reported attempts.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "reported" in the context: "There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to involve users in service planning"

Here, "cases reported" means cases that were brought to attention, made known, or documented. This aligns with sense 2: "announce as the result of an investigation or experience or finding" - the example "Dozens of incidents of wife beatings are reported daily in this city" is very similar in structure to "cases reported of attempts to involve users."

Alternatively, sense 4 is "make known to the authorities" which could also fit in some contexts, but here it's more about documenting/finding cases rather than reporting to authorities.

Sense 2 fits best - it's about cases that were reported/documented/announced as findings.

reasoning_content:
The target word "involve" appears in the context: "There were relatively few cases reported of attempts to <t>involve</t> users in service planning but their involvement in service provision was found to be more common."

This is about engaging users as participants in service planning. The meaning is "engage as a participant" - bringing users into the process.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. "connect closely and often incriminatingly" - affect, regard - not this
2. "engage as a participant" - "Don't involve me in your family affairs!" - this fits well
3. "have as a necessary feature" - imply - not this
4. "require as useful, just, or proper" - necessitate - not this
5. "contain as a part" - not this
6. "occupy or engage the interest of" - not quite, this is more about capturing attention
7. "make complex or intricate" - not this

Sense 2 ("engage as a participant") is clearly the best match for "involve users in service planning."

reasoning_content:
The context discusses involving users in "service planning" and "service provision." This is about public welfare services - the delivery of services to the public. "Service planning" and "service provision" refer to work done that benefits others, which aligns with sense 1: "work done by one person or group that benefits another."

Sense 2 is "an act of help or assistance" - this is more of a single act, while the context is about broader service delivery systems.
Sense 1 fits best because it's about the broader concept of work/services provided, which matches "service planning" and "service provision" in the context of public welfare.

reasoning_content:
The context is about service planning - involving users in the planning of services. This refers to the act of formulating a program for a definite course of action, specifically in the context of organizing and designing services.

Sense 1: "an act of formulating a program for a definite course of action" - this fits well with service planning, which involves designing and organizing how services will be delivered.

Sense 2: "the act or process of drawing up plans or layouts for some project or enterprise" - this is more about architectural or project layouts.

Sense 3: "the cognitive process of thinking about what you will do in the event of something happening" - this is about preparation/anticipation, not relevant here.

The best fit is sense 1, as service planning refers to the formulation of programs/courses of action for delivering services.

reasoning_content:
The context discusses users being involved in service provision. The sentence says "their involvement in service provision was found to be more common." This refers to users participating in or being engaged in service provision activities.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. "the act of sharing in the activities of a group" - synonyms: engagement, participation - this fits well with users being involved in service provision
2. "a connection of inclusion or containment" - doesn't fit
3. "a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something" - doesn't fit
4. "a usually secretive or illicit sexual relationship" - doesn't fit
5. "the condition of sharing in common with others" - synonyms: participation - this could also fit

Between sense 1 and sense 5, both relate to participation. Sense 1 is about "the act of sharing in the activities of a group" which fits the context of users being involved in service provision. Sense 5 is about "the condition of sharing in common with others" which is more about fellowship/partnership.

The context talks about users' involvement in service provision - this is about them participating in activities, which aligns more with sense 1 (engagement, participation in activities of a group).

I'll go with sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The context discusses "service users" and "service planning" and "service provision" in the context of public welfare, voluntary organizations, and community organizations. This is about the delivery of services to users/beneficiaries.

"Service provision" refers to the act of providing/delivering services. "Service users" are people who use/receive services. "Service planning" is about planning those services.

This best matches sense 1: "work done by one person or group that benefits another" - which is the general sense of service as a benefit provided to others.

Sense 2 is "an act of help or assistance" which is similar but more specific to a single act. Sense 1 is broader and fits the systemic usage here about "service provision" and "service planning" in a public welfare context.

The answer is sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The context is: "their involvement in service provision was found to be more common."

Here, "found" is used in the passive voice construction "was found to be," which means it was discovered or determined that their involvement was more common. This is a finding from investigation/study.

Looking at the candidate senses:
- Sense 2: "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" - synonyms: detect, observe, discover, notice
- Sense 4: "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study" - synonyms: determine, find out, ascertain

Sense 4 seems to fit best because it specifically mentions "investigation, experiment, survey, or study" and the context is about a conference where issues were debated and cases were reported. The participants were essentially conducting a survey/study of the situation, and they established/determined that involvement in service provision was more common.

Sense 2 is more about detecting/observing the existence or presence of something specific, while Sense 4 is about establishing a fact through investigation. Given the context of a conference reporting on cases and debates, Sense 4 fits better.

reasoning_content:
The target word "more" appears in the context: "their involvement in service provision was found to be more common."

Here, "more" is modifying the adjective "common" to form its comparative degree. This is clearly the comparative form used to compare "involvement in service planning" vs "involvement in service provision" — the latter being "more common" than the former.

Sense 1: "used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs" — this fits perfectly. "more common" = comparative of the adjective "common."

Sense 2: "comparative of much; to a greater degree or extent" — this is the adverbial "more" (e.g., "he works more now"), which is a different usage.

The answer is Sense 1, which corresponds to sense_index 1.

reasoning_content:
The context says "their involvement in service provision was found to be more common." This means involvement in service provision was found to occur frequently or was widely encountered. This matches the sense of "commonly encountered" or "usual."

Looking at the candidates:
- Sense 2: "having no special distinction or quality; widely known or commonly encountered; average or ordinary or usual"
- Sense 4: "commonly encountered" with synonyms "usual"

Both sense 2 and sense 4 seem relevant. Sense 4 is specifically about being commonly encountered/usual, which fits "was found to be more common" meaning it occurred more frequently than other things mentioned.

Sense 2 is more about being ordinary/average without special distinction.

The phrase "more common" here is comparative - meaning it happened more frequently. This aligns with "commonly encountered" or "usual" - sense 4.

Actually, let me reconsider. Sense 2 includes "widely known or commonly encountered; average or ordinary or usual" - this is a broader sense that encompasses the meaning of "usual/frequent."

Sense 4 is more specifically "commonly encountered" with synonym "usual."

In WordNet, sense 2 (common%3:00:01::) is the adjective sense meaning "ordinary, usual" while sense 4 (common%5:00:00:familiar:02) is also an adjective sense meaning "commonly encountered."

The context "was found to be more common" - this is about frequency/usualness. Both could work, but sense 4 with its synonym "usual" and definition "commonly encountered" seems most precise.

However, sense 2 is typically the first/primary sense for "common" as an adjective meaning ordinary/usual. Let me think about which is more appropriate.

"More common" in this context means "more frequently occurring" or "more usual." This is the sense of "usual" or "commonly encountered."

I think sense 4 (common%5:00:00:familiar:02) is the best match because it specifically captures the "commonly encountered/usual" meaning that fits "was found to be more common."

Actually, looking more carefully, sense 2 is the primary adjective sense and includes "widely known or commonly encountered; average or ordinary or usual." This is a very general sense.

Sense 4 is more specific: "commonly encountered" = "usual."

For "more common" meaning "more frequently occurring," sense 4 seems most appropriate.

I'll go with sense 4.

The context is: "Note was also taken of the variety of different roles played by public welfare"

The word "variety" here refers to the diversity/range of different roles. It's used in the sense of "diversity" or "multifariousness" - meaning there are many different kinds of roles.

Let me look at the candidates:
- Sense 1: "a collection containing a variety of sorts of things" - synonyms: assortment, mixture, mixed bag
- Sense 2: "noticeable heterogeneity" - synonyms: diverseness, diversity, multifariousness
- Sense 6: "a difference that is usually pleasant" - synonyms: change

The phrase "variety of different roles" emphasizes that there are many different kinds of roles - this is about the diversity/multifariousness of the roles. This best matches sense 2 (noticeable heterogeneity, diversity).

Sense 1 would be more like "a collection of things" - like "a variety of items on display." The context here is more about the quality of being diverse rather than a collection.

Sense 6 is about a pleasant change, which doesn't fit.

I think sense 2 is the best match because "variety of different roles" emphasizes the diversity and heterogeneity of the roles played.

reasoning_content:
The target word "different" appears in the phrase "the variety of different roles played by public welfare."

Let me analyze the context. The sentence is talking about "the variety of different roles" - this means various, distinct kinds of roles. The word is describing roles that are distinct from one another.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=different%3:00:00:: | "unlike in nature or quality or form or degree" - examples: "took different approaches to the problem; came to a different conclusion"
2. sense_key=different%5:00:00:other:00 | "distinctly separate from the first" - examples: "that's another (or different) issue altogether"
3. sense_key=different%5:00:00:unusual:00 | "differing from all others; not ordinary" - examples: "advertising that strives continually to be different; this new music is certainly different but I don't really like it"
4. sense_key=different%3:00:02:: | "marked by dissimilarity" - synonyms: unlike, dissimilar
5. sense_key=different%5:00:01:other:00 | "distinct or separate" - examples: "each interviewed different members of the community"

The phrase "variety of different roles" means roles that are distinct from one another - various kinds of roles. This is about the roles being distinct or separate from each other.

Sense 5: "distinct or separate" with the example "each interviewed different members of the community" - this captures the idea of distinct items among a group, which fits "different roles" meaning various distinct roles.

Sense 1: "unlike in nature or quality or form or degree" - this is more about comparing two things that are unlike each other.

Sense 2: "distinctly separate from the first" - this is more about something being separate from a previously mentioned thing.

Sense 5 seems to best match the context. "The variety of different roles" means different/distinct roles - multiple roles that are distinct from one another. The example "each interviewed different members of the community" shows this sense of distinct items among a set.

Actually, let me reconsider. "The variety of different roles" - the word "variety" already conveys diversity, and "different" is reinforcing the idea of distinctness. The roles are distinct from each other.

Sense 5 "distinct or separate" with the example about different members of the community seems to fit well - it's about distinct items in a group.

I'll go with sense 5.

The context is: "Note was also taken of the variety of different roles <t>played</t> by public welfare"

This is about "roles played by public welfare" - meaning the various functions/roles that public welfare services have/perform. This is the sense of "play a role or part" - meaning to perform or fulfill a role.

Looking at the candidate senses:

4. sense_key=play%2:36:02:: | definition=play a role or part | synonyms=act, represent | examples=Gielgud played Hamlet; She wants to act Lady Macbeth, but she is too young for the role

This fits best. The sentence is about "the variety of different roles played by public welfare" - meaning public welfare played/fulfilled various roles.

Sense 2 is also about acting/with effect: "act or have an effect in a specified way" - but the phrase "roles played" specifically maps to sense 4 which is literally about playing a role.

The answer is sense 4.

reasoning_content:
The target word "public" appears in the context "the variety of different roles played by public welfare". The phrase "public welfare" refers to welfare services provided for the people/community as a whole. This is contrasting with private welfare or voluntary/community organisations mentioned earlier.

Sense 1: "not private; open to or concerning the people as a whole" - examples include "public good; public libraries"
Sense 2: "affecting the people or community as a whole" - examples include "community leaders; community interests"

Looking at the context, "public welfare" means welfare that is open to/available to the people as a whole, not private. This aligns with sense 1 - "not private; open to or concerning the people as a whole." The distinction being made is between public authorities and other organizations, so "public" here means government/state-run (i.e., not private).

Sense 1 seems to be the best match - "not private" captures the contrast with voluntary/community organisations mentioned in the text.

The target word "Commission" appears in the context: "The Foundation organised, together with the European Commission, the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs and the Galician regional government, a European conference on social exclusion."

Here, "European Commission" refers to the executive body of the European Union. This is a formal organization/body that acts as a governing institution. Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. A special group delegated to consider some matter (committee) - This could fit as the European Commission is a group/committee, but it's more of an institution.
2. A fee for services rendered - No, this doesn't fit.
3. The act of granting authority - No.
4. The state of being in good working order - No.
5. A group of representatives or delegates (deputation, delegation, mission) - The European Commission is indeed a group of representatives/delegates (commissioners). This seems like a strong fit.
6. A formal statement of a command - No.
7. An official document conferring rank of officer - No.
8. The act of committing a crime - No.
9. A special assignment given to a person or group - No.

Between sense 1 (committee) and sense 5 (delegation/deputacy), the European Commission is best described as a delegation or group of representatives. The European Commission consists of commissioners who are appointed by member states. Sense 5 with "deputation, delegation, delegacy, mission" seems most appropriate for the European Commission as a body of representatives.

Actually, let me reconsider. The European Commission is a specific institutional body. Sense 1 describes "a special group delegated to consider some matter" with the synonym "committee." Sense 5 describes "a group of representatives or delegates" with synonyms "deputation, delegation, delegacy, mission."

The European Commission is essentially a delegation of commissioners representing the EU. Sense 5 seems more accurate because it emphasizes the representative/delegate nature, which is what the European Commission is - a group of appointed representatives (commissioners).

I'll go with sense 5.
