Target lemma: country
Target surface form: countries
Context:
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 organisations 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. Note was also taken of the variety of different roles played by public welfare 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: a major challenge for public welfare services. The Foundation recently published a comparative study as part of the EPOC project which assesses the extent to which direct participation can humanise work while increasing profitability. 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 <t>countries</t>. As important industrial sectors, the metal industry and the banking sector were also included.

*   Target lemma: `country`
    *   Target surface form: `countries`
    *   Context: "...representatives of national level peak organisations in fifteen European <t>countries</t>."
    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `country%1:15:01::`: rural area (outside cities/towns).
        2.  `country%1:15:00::`: territory occupied by a nation (state, land). Example: "he visited several European countries".
        3.  `country%1:15:02::`: geographical region of indefinite boundary (area).
        4.  `country%1:14:01::`: the people who live in a nation or country (nation, land).
        5.  `country%1:14:00::`: a politically organized body of people under a single government (state, nation).

    *   The phrase is "fifteen European countries".
    *   This refers to the geopolitical entities (nations/states) within Europe.
    *   Comparing with candidate senses:
        *   Sense 1 (rural area) is incorrect.
        *   Sense 2 (territory occupied by a nation) fits perfectly. The example "he visited several European countries" is almost identical to the context.
        *   Sense 3 (geographical region) is too vague.
        *   Sense 4 (the people) refers to the population, not the entities themselves.
        *   Sense 5 (politically organized body of people) is very close, but Sense 2 specifically mentions "territory occupied by a nation" and provides the exact example "European countries".

    *   Sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation" / "he visited several European countries".
    *   Sense 5: "a politically organized body of people under a single government".
    *   In the context of "fifteen European countries", it usually refers to the sovereign states/territories. Sense 2's example is a direct match.

    *   Sense 2 is the best fit.

        2.  `of great significance or value`
        3.  `important in effect or meaning` (significant)
        4.  `immodest` (consciousness of high position)
        5.  `crucial` (vital to the resolution of a crisis)

    *   The sentence is: "As important industrial sectors, the metal industry and the banking sector were also included."
    *   Here, "important" describes "industrial sectors" (metal industry and banking sector).
    *   It means these sectors are of great significance or value to the economy or the study.

    *   Sense 1 (influential): Usually refers to people or entities with power/authority (e.g., "an important official"). While sectors can be influential, "of great significance" is a more general and fitting description for industrial sectors in this context.
    *   Sense 2 (of great significance or value): This is a general sense of importance. Industrial sectors are often described as "important" because they are significant to the economy.
    *   Sense 3 (significant in effect or meaning): Often used for changes or differences (e.g., "a significant change").
    *   Sense 4 (immodest): Refers to a person's demeanor. Not applicable.
    *   Sense 5 (crucial): Refers to something vital for a specific outcome or crisis. Not applicable here.

    *   Sense 2 is the most general and appropriate for describing the status of industrial sectors (metal and banking) within a study or an economy. They are "of great significance or value."

    *   Sense 2: "of great significance or value" -> "important industrial sectors" (sectors that are significant/valuable).
    *   Sense 3: "important in effect or meaning" -> usually refers to a result or a difference.
    *   Sense 1: "influential" -> usually refers to power.

    Sense 2 is the best fit.

        4.  `industrial%5:00:00:heavy-duty:00`: suitable to stand up to hard wear (e.g., industrial carpeting)

    *   The sentence is: "As important industrial sectors, the metal industry and the banking sector were also included."
    *   The word "industrial" modifies "sectors".
    *   "Industrial sectors" refers to parts of the economy related to industry (broadly defined here to include banking, though banking is usually tertiary/service, the text groups them as "industrial sectors" in a broad economic sense).

    *   Sense 1: "of or relating to or resulting from industry". This fits well. "Industrial sectors" are sectors relating to industry.
    *   Sense 2: "employed in industry". This refers to people (blue-collar). "Sectors" are not employed.
    *   Sense 3: "having highly developed industries". This refers to entities like nations or eras (e.g., "industrial nation"). A "sector" doesn't "have" industries; it *is* a part of the industrial landscape.
    *   Sense 4: "suitable to stand up to hard wear". This refers to physical durability (e.g., "industrial carpeting"). Not applicable here.

    *   Sense 1 is the most general and accurate description for "industrial sectors" (relating to industry).

    *   Wait, let me double-check Sense 3. "Having highly developed industries". An "industrial nation" has industries. An "industrial sector" is a sector *of* industry.
    *   Sense 1: "of or relating to or resulting from industry". This is the standard way to describe sectors of the economy.

    *   Sense 1: `industrial%3:01:00::` (of or relating to industry)
    *   Sense 2: `industrial%5:00:00:blue-collar:00` (employed in industry)
    *   Sense 3: `industrial%3:00:00::` (having highly developed industries)
    *   Sense 4: `industrial%5:00:00:heavy-duty:00` (heavy-duty)

    The phrase "industrial sectors" clearly relates to the concept of industry (Sense 1).

    *   Sense 1: "of or relating to or resulting from industry" -> "industrial sectors" (sectors relating to industry).
    *   Sense 3: "having highly developed industries" -> "industrial nation".

    Sense 1 is the correct fit.

        3.  `industry%1:07:00::`: persevering determination to perform a task (diligence).

    *   The sentence is: "As important industrial sectors, the metal industry and the banking sector were also included."
    *   The phrase "metal industry" refers to the group of companies or the sector involved in processing metal.
    *   It is paired with "the banking sector".
    *   "Industrial sectors" is used as a category for both "metal industry" and "banking sector".

    *   Sense 1 (manufacture): Focuses on the *action* of making goods. While metalworking involves making goods, the context "metal industry and the banking sector" suggests a broader categorization of economic sectors.
    *   Sense 2 (people/companies in a commercial enterprise): Focuses on the *group* of companies or the *sector* itself. "The metal industry" and "the banking sector" are parallel structures here. A "sector" is essentially a group of companies engaged in a particular kind of commercial enterprise.
    *   Sense 3 (diligence): Clearly incorrect.

    *   Sense 1 is about the *process* of manufacturing.
    *   Sense 2 is about the *economic sector* or the *collection of companies*.
    *   In the phrase "the metal industry and the banking sector", "industry" is used as a synonym for "sector".
    *   Comparing "the metal industry" (Sense 2) vs "the metal industry" (Sense 1):
        *   Sense 1: The act of making metal goods.
        *   Sense 2: The collection of companies that make metal goods.
    *   Given the parallel "banking sector", Sense 2 is the most appropriate because banking is not "manufacture" (Sense 1), but it is a "commercial enterprise" (Sense 2). Therefore, "industry" in "metal industry" is being used in the same sense as "sector" in "banking sector".

    *   Sense 2: "the people or companies engaged in a particular kind of commercial enterprise". This fits perfectly with "metal industry" as a sector.

*   Target lemma: `include`
    *   Target surface form: `included`
    *   Context: "As important industrial sectors, the metal industry and the banking sector were also <t>included</t>."
    *   Surrounding context: The text discusses a comparative study based on interviews with senior officials of social partners in fifteen European countries. It mentions that the metal industry and the banking sector were also included (presumably in the study or the set of sectors analyzed).

    *   Sense 1: `consider as part of something` (e.g., "I include you in the list of culprits"). This is more about mental categorization or judgment.
    *   Sense 2: `add as part of something else; put in as part of a set, group, or category` (e.g., "We must include this chemical element in the group"). This is about the act of adding or incorporating something into a collection.
    *   Sense 3: `allow participation in or the right to be part of; permit to exercise the rights, functions, and responsibilities of` (e.g., "admit someone to the profession"). This is about granting access or rights.
    *   Sense 4: `have as a part, be made up out of` (e.g., "The list includes the names of many famous writers"). This is about the composition of a whole.

    *   The sentence is: "As important industrial sectors, the metal industry and the banking sector were also included."
    *   The "included" here refers to the metal industry and banking sector being part of the study/sample.
    *   Is it "considering as part of" (Sense 1)? Not really.
    *   Is it "adding as part of something else/putting in as part of a set" (Sense 2)? Yes, they were added to the group of sectors being studied.
    *   Is it "allowing participation/rights" (Sense 3)? No.
    *   Is it "having as a part" (Sense 4)? Sense 4 is usually used when the subject is the whole (e.g., "The study included the metal industry"). Here, the sentence is passive: "the metal industry... were also included". This passive construction ("X was included") typically maps to the active "Someone included X" (Sense 2: add as part of something else).

    *   Sense 2: "add as part of something else; put in as part of a set, group, or category".
    *   Sense 4: "have as a part, be made up out of".
    *   If the sentence were "The study included the metal industry," Sense 4 would be a strong candidate.
    *   Since the sentence is "the metal industry... were also included," it implies the action of including them in the study.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 2 vs Sense 4.
    *   Sense 2: "put in as part of a set, group, or category".
    *   Sense 4: "have as a part".
    *   In the passive "were included", the focus is on the act of being put into the group.

    *   Sense 2: "add as part of something else; put in as part of a set, group, or category"
    *   Sense 4: "have as a part, be made up out of"
    *   Example for Sense 2: "We must include this chemical element in the group" -> "This chemical element must be included in the group." (Matches the structure of the target sentence).
    *   Example for Sense 4: "The list includes the names of many famous writers" -> "The names of many famous writers are included in the list." (Also matches).

    Wait, let's look closer.
    Sense 2 is about the *action* of adding.
    Sense 4 is about the *state* of containing.

    In "the metal industry and the banking sector were also included", it's describing the composition of the study's scope.

    Let's check the WordNet distinctions again.
    Sense 2: `include%2:30:00` (add as part of something else)
    Sense 4: `include%2:41:03` (Wait, the prompt says Sense 3 is 41:03 and Sense 4 is 42:00).
    Sense 4: `include%2:42:00` (have as a part, be made up out of)

    If I say "The study included the metal industry," I am saying the study *had* it as a part (Sense 4).
    If I say "The metal industry was included in the study," I am saying it was *put in* as part of the study (Sense 2).

    However, in many linguistic datasets, "included" in this context (being part of a sample/study) is often mapped to the sense of "containing" or "comprising" if the focus is on the result, or "adding" if the focus is on the process.

    Let's look at the context again: "The study is based on 195 personal interviews... As important industrial sectors, the metal industry and the banking sector were also included."
    This sounds like they were added to the scope of the study.

    Comparing Sense 2 and Sense 4 again:
    Sense 2: "add as part of something else; put in as part of a set, group, or category"
    Sense 4: "have as a part, be made up out of"

    If the subject is the thing being included (the metal industry), it's more likely to be the passive of "put in" (Sense 2). If the subject is the container (the study), it's "have as a part" (Sense 4).

    Let's double-check Sense 2's example: "We must include this chemical element in the group". Passive: "This chemical element must be included in the group." This is a perfect match for "the metal industry... were also included".

    Sense 4's example: "The list includes the names of many famous writers". Passive: "The names of many famous writers are included in the list."

    Is there a subtle difference?
    Sense 2 is often used for the *act* of inclusion.
    Sense 4 is often used for the *fact* of inclusion.

    In the context of a research paper describing a study's methodology ("The study is based on... the metal industry... were also included"), it's describing the composition of the sample.

    Let's look at the senses again.
    1. consider as part of something
    2. add as part of something else; put in as part of a set, group, or category
    3. allow participation in...
    4. have as a part, be made up out of

    Actually, in many WSD tasks, "included" in the sense of "being part of a list/study" is mapped to "contain/have as a part" (Sense 4) if it's describing the contents, and "add/put in" (Sense 2) if it's describing the action.

    "As important industrial sectors, the metal industry and the banking sector were also included."
    This sentence is explaining *what* was in the study.

    Let's try to see if Sense 2 or Sense 4 is more common for this specific phrasing.
    "X was included in the study."
    If I say "The study included X," it's Sense 4.
    If I say "X was included in the study," it's the passive of "The researcher included X in the study."

    Wait, "The researcher included X in the study" -> "The researcher put X in as part of the study" (Sense 2).

    Let's re-read Sense 4: "have as a part, be made up out of".
    If the study *has* the metal industry as a part, then the metal industry *is included* in the study.

    This is a very fine distinction. Let's look at the examples again.
    Sense 2: "We must include this chemical element in the group" (Action of adding)
    Sense 4: "The list includes the names of many famous writers" (State of containing)

    The sentence "the metal industry and the banking sector were also included" describes the composition of the study. It's more of a state than an action.

    However, "were also included" often implies "were also [added/put in]".

    Let's think about the most likely intended sense in a linguistic corpus.
    "The study included X" (Active) -> Sense 4.
    "X was included in the study" (Passive) -> Sense 2 (because the active form would be "The author included X").

    Wait, if "The study includes X" is Sense 4, then "X is included in the study" is just the passive/reciprocal of that same relationship.

    Let's re-examine Sense 2: "add as part of something else; put in as part of a set, group, or category".
    Let's re-examine Sense 4: "have as a part, be made up out of".

    If the sentence is "The metal industry was included," it means it was *put in* as part of the set of sectors.

    Let's try to find similar examples.
    "The participants were included based on..." (Usually Sense 2 - the act of including them).
    "The following items are included in the box." (Usually Sense 4 - the box contains them).

    In the context: "The study is based on 195 personal interviews... As important industrial sectors, the metal industry and the banking sector were also included."
    This sounds like the researchers *added* these sectors to their study.

    Let's compare:
    "The study included the metal industry" (Sense 4)
    "The metal industry was included in the study" (Sense 2)

    Actually, looking at WordNet's structure, `include%2:30:00` (Sense 2) is often the one used for the action of adding, and `include%2:42:00` (Sense 4) is for the state of containing.

    In the sentence "the metal industry and the banking sector were also included", the "also" suggests that in addition to the 195 interviews, these sectors were *also* put into the study. This points slightly more towards the action of adding (Sense 2).

    Let's double-check Sense 2 again: "add as part of something else; put in as part of a set, group, or category".
    This fits perfectly.

    Let's double-check Sense 4 again: "have as a part, be made up out of".
    This also fits, but it's usually the active voice ("The study includes...").

    If I have to choose the *single best* sense:
    "The metal industry... were also included."
    This is the passive of "The researchers also included the metal industry [in the study]."
    "The researchers also put the metal industry in as part of the study." (Sense 2).

    Let's consider if it could be Sense 1 ("consider as part of something").
    "The metal industry was included as an important industrial sector."
    This could mean "The metal industry was *considered* to be an important industrial sector."
    But the sentence is "As important industrial sectors, the metal industry and the banking sector were also included."
    This means "Because they are important industrial sectors, they were also included [in the study]."
    So it's not Sense 1.

    Sense 3 is about rights/participation ("admit someone to the profession"), which doesn't fit.

    So it's between 2 and 4.
    Sense 2: add as part of something else.
    Sense 4: have as a part.

    In the context of a study's methodology, "included" usually refers to the selection process (the act of including).

    Final check:
    "The study is based on 195 personal interviews... As important industrial sectors, the metal industry and the banking sector were also included."
    The "also" strongly suggests the act of adding them to the already mentioned interviews.

    Therefore, Sense 2 is the most fitting.

    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `exclusion%1:26:00::`: the state of being excluded
        2.  `exclusion%1:09:00::`: a deliberate act of omission (synonyms: exception, elision)
        3.  `exclusion%1:26:01::`: the state of being excommunicated (synonyms: excommunication, censure)
        4.  `exclusion%1:04:01::`: the act of forcing out someone or something (synonyms: ejection, expulsion, riddance)

    *   The phrase is "social exclusion".
    *   "Social exclusion" refers to the process in which individuals or entire communities are systematically blocked from (or denied access to) various rights, opportunities, and resources that are normally available to members of a different group, and which are fundamental to social integration.
    *   It describes a *state* of being marginalized or excluded from society.

    *   Sense 1: "the state of being excluded". This fits "social exclusion" perfectly.
    *   Sense 2: "a deliberate act of omission" (exception). This doesn't fit "social exclusion".
    *   Sense 3: "the state of being excommunicated". This is specific to religious or formal organizational expulsion. Not the general meaning of "social exclusion".
    *   Sense 4: "the act of forcing out someone or something" (ejection/expulsion). While social exclusion involves being pushed out, the term "social exclusion" usually refers to the resulting *state* or the systemic condition rather than a single act of ejection (like being kicked out of a school).

    *   Sense 1 is the most general and accurate description of the state of being excluded from society.

    *   Sense 1 (sports league) is irrelevant.
    *   Sense 2 (group discussion) is too informal/narrow.
    *   Sense 3 (prearranged meeting for consultation/exchange of information, formal agenda) fits perfectly. A "European conference" with "key speakers" is a formal meeting.

    *   Sense 3 is the best fit.

    *   The word "Employment" appears in the phrase: "Cristina Louro, Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate, European Commission".
    *   This is a list of names and their associated departments/directorates.
    *   "Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate" is the name of a specific administrative unit within the European Commission.
    *   In this context, "Employment" refers to the *field* or *sector* of employment (the state of having jobs, the labor market, the policy area of jobs).

    *   Sense 1: "the act of giving someone a job" (hiring). Not a field of policy.
    *   Sense 2: "the act of using" (utilization). Not applicable.
    *   Sense 3: "the occupation for which you are paid" (work/job). This refers to a specific job held by a person.
    *   Sense 4: "the state of being employed or having a job". This refers to the general condition of employment (e.g., "employment rates", "employment policy").

    *   The "Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate" deals with policies regarding the state of being employed, labor markets, and job creation.
    *   Comparing Sense 3 (a specific job) and Sense 4 (the state of being employed/the labor market concept), Sense 4 is the standard way to refer to the policy area of "employment".
    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 3 again: "the occupation for which you are paid". This is usually "my employment is as a teacher".
    *   Sense 4: "the state of being employed or having a job". This is usually "employment is low in this region".
    *   In the context of a government directorate, "Employment" refers to the general concept of people having jobs (the labor market/employment status).

    *   Sense 3: "he is looking for employment" (looking for a job).
    *   Sense 4: "they are looking for employment" (looking for the state of being employed).
    *   Actually, WordNet's distinctions between 3 and 4 are often very subtle.
    *   Sense 3: `employment%1:04:00` (work)
    *   Sense 4: `employment%1:26:00` (the state of being employed)
    *   In the context of a Directorate (Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs), it refers to the *sector* or *state* of employment in the population.

    *   Sense 1: Hiring. (No)
    *   Sense 2: Use. (No)
    *   Sense 3: A job. (No, the directorate isn't "A Job, Industrial Relations...")
    *   Sense 4: The state of being employed. (Yes, this encompasses the policy area of employment).

    *   Sense 3: "the occupation for which you are paid" (synonym: work).
    *   Sense 4: "the state of being employed or having a job" (synonym: employ).
    *   In "Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate", "Employment" refers to the general condition/status of the workforce. This aligns best with Sense 4.

    *   Wait, let me double-check if there's a better fit.
    *   Sense 3: "he is looking for employment" (looking for a job).
    *   Sense 4: "he was in the employ of the city" (state of being employed).
    *   Actually, looking at the examples:
        *   Sense 3: "he is looking for employment"
        *   Sense 4: "they are looking for employment" (Wait, the examples provided in the prompt for 3 and 4 are almost identical: "he is looking for employment" vs "they are looking for employment").
    *   Let's look at the definitions again.
        *   Sense 3: "the occupation for which you are paid"
        *   Sense 4: "the state of being employed or having a job"
    *   A "Directorate of Employment" manages the *state* of employment in a country/region.

    *   Sense 3 is more about the *job itself* (the occupation).
    *   Sense 4 is more about the *status* of having a job.
    *   Policy directorates deal with the *status* (employment rates, employment laws), not a specific *occupation*.

    *   Sense 4 is the most appropriate for a policy area/department name.

    *   The phrase is "Industrial Relations".
    *   "Industrial relations" is a standard term referring to the relationship between management and employees (or their unions) within an industry or the economy as a whole.
    *   It relates to the *field* of industry, specifically the organizational and social aspects of it.

    *   Sense 1 (heavy-duty): Not applicable. "Industrial relations" are not "heavy-duty" in the sense of wear and tear.
    *   Sense 2 (highly developed industries): Not applicable. "Industrial relations" doesn't mean "relations of a highly developed industry".
    *   Sense 3 (employed in industry/blue-collar): This refers to people (industrial classes) or the nature of the work (industrial work). While "industrial relations" involves these people, the term "industrial" here describes the *relations* themselves.
    *   Sense 4 (of or relating to or resulting from industry): This is a broad sense. "Industrial relations" are relations *relating to* industry.

    *   "Industrial relations" is a term of art.
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 4: "industrial output". This is something *relating to* industry.
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 3: "industrial classes", "industrial work". These are things *employed in* or *characteristic of* industry.
    *   Comparing Sense 3 and Sense 4: Sense 3 is more about the "blue-collar" aspect. Sense 4 is the general "relating to industry" aspect.
    *   "Industrial Relations" as a field of study or a government directorate (Employment, Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate) fits best under "of or relating to industry".

    *   Sense 1: Heavy-duty (No)
    *   Sense 2: Developed industries (No)
    *   Sense 3: Blue-collar/employed in industry (No, "relations" aren't employed)
