Context:
Cheshire Appeal Will Point to Twitter There were half a dozen of them typing away in the courtroom rows. Minute by minute, they sent out reports of gruesome testimony via Twitter. In the end, the defense says, there were more than 140,000 Twitter messages about the trial that dealt with rape and children tied to their beds in a house that was set ablaze. On Thursday, the widely followed trial of Steven J. Hayes, who was convicted of killing three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family, is set to come to an official end with the judge's imposition of the death sentence voted for by the jury. But lawyers for Mr. Hayes have already made court filings that sketch out appeals arguments that are likely to occupy the <t>courts</t> for years. One of the most provocative is that the intense reporting on the trial - including mainstream reporters' extensive use of Twitter - created a "circus atmosphere" and such widespread, instant saturation with inflammatory details that the jury was improperly swayed by public passions.

    *   Sense 3: "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business"
    *   Sense 11: "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws"
    *   Usually, "the courts" in the context of appeals refers to the judicial system or the specific lawcourts. Sense 11's synonyms "lawcourt, court of law, court of justice" are perfect. Sense 3's "tribunal, judicature" are also close, but Sense 11 is the standard definition for a court of law.

    *   Let's look at the context again: "court filings that sketch out appeals arguments that are likely to occupy the courts for years."
    *   This refers to the legal entities/institutions. Sense 11 is the most fitting.

    *   This refers to the general mood, feeling, or environment of the trial.
    *   Sense 1 ("a particular environment or surrounding influence") fits perfectly. "Circus atmosphere" means an environment characterized by chaos, spectacle, and excitement (like a circus).

    *   Senses 3, 4, 5, and 6 are literal/scientific meanings of atmosphere and are clearly incorrect.

    *   Sense 1: "a particular environment or surrounding influence" (ambiance). "Circus atmosphere" = an environment of chaos/spectacle.
    *   Sense 2: "a distinctive but intangible quality surrounding a person or thing" (aura).
    *   Comparing 1 and 2: "Circus atmosphere" describes the *situation* or *environment* created by the reporting, not an aura emanating from a person. Sense 1 is the standard fit for "atmosphere" when referring to the mood of a place or event.

        2.  `detail%1:14:00::`: a temporary military unit (synonym: contingent)

        5.  `detail%1:09:00::`: an isolated fact that is considered separately from the whole (synonym: item, point)

    *   The context refers to "inflammatory details" of a trial (rape, children tied to beds, house set ablaze).
    *   These "details" are pieces of information or facts about the case.
    *   Sense 1 (extended treatment) is usually uncountable ("too much detail"). Here, "details" is plural.
    *   Sense 2 and 3 (military unit/crew) are completely irrelevant.
    *   Sense 4 (small part of a whole) often refers to physical parts or components (e.g., "perfect in all details").
    *   Sense 5 (isolated fact) refers to points of information (e.g., "several of the details are similar").

    *   The "inflammatory details" are the specific, gruesome facts of the crime.
    *   Sense 5 ("an isolated fact that is considered separately from the whole") fits best for "facts of a case" or "points of information."
    *   Sense 4 ("a small part that can be considered separately from the whole") is similar, but Sense 5 specifically mentions "fact" and "point of information," which aligns better with "inflammatory details" in a legal/reporting context.

    *   Sense 4: "a small part that can be considered separately from the whole" (synonyms: particular, item).
    *   Sense 5: "an isolated fact that is considered separately from the whole" (synonyms: item, point).
    *   In the context of "inflammatory details" of a crime, we are talking about specific facts/points of the testimony. Sense 5 is the most precise.

Target lemma: jury
Target surface form: jury
Context:
There were half a dozen of them typing away in the courtroom rows. Minute by minute, they sent out reports of gruesome testimony via Twitter. In the end, the defense says, there were more than 140,000 Twitter messages about the trial that dealt with rape and children tied to their beds in a house that was set ablaze. On Thursday, the widely followed trial of Steven J. Hayes, who was convicted of killing three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family, is set to come to an official end with the judge's imposition of the death sentence voted for by the jury. But lawyers for Mr. Hayes have already made court filings that sketch out appeals arguments that are likely to occupy the courts for years. One of the most provocative is that the intense reporting on the trial - including mainstream reporters' extensive use of Twitter - created a "circus atmosphere" and such widespread, instant saturation with inflammatory details that the <t>jury</t> was improperly swayed by public passions. The claim could force appeals judges to grapple with the question of whether new technology requires new courtroom rules.

    *   The context describes a situation where a jury might have been influenced by the strong emotional reactions of the public ("public passions") caused by "inflammatory details" and a "circus atmosphere".
    *   "Public passions" here refers to the collective strong emotions (anger, horror, outrage) of the general public.
    *   Sense 7 ("a strong feeling or emotion") fits this perfectly.
    *   Sense 1 ("the trait of being intensely emotional") describes a personality trait, not the emotions themselves.
    *   Sense 2 (sexual desire) is incorrect.
    *   Sense 3 (object of affection) is incorrect.
    *   Sense 4 (Jesus) is incorrect.
    *   Sense 5 (something desired intensely) is incorrect.
    *   Sense 6 (irrational motive) is close, but "public passions" usually refers to the emotions themselves rather than a specific motive for a belief.

    *   Sense 7: "a strong feeling or emotion". This is the most general and accurate description of "public passions" in the context of a trial being swayed by public outcry/emotion.

    *   Sense 2: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior" (synonym: regulation).
    *   Sense 12: "prescribed guide for conduct or action" (synonym: prescript).

    *   "Courtroom rules" refers to the formal regulations or procedures that govern how a trial is conducted, who can speak, what can be brought in, and how technology is used.
    *   Sense 12 ("prescribed guide for conduct or action") fits well for formal, official rules of a court.
    *   Sense 2 ("principle or condition that customarily governs behavior") often refers to personal habits or general social regulations.
    *   Looking at WordNet's typical distinctions:
        *   `rule%1:10:00` (Sense 12) is often used for formal prescriptions.
        *   `rule%1:09:00` (Sense 2) is often used for customary regulations.
    *   Courtroom rules are formal, prescribed guides for conduct.

    *   Sense 12: "prescribed guide for conduct or action" (prescript).
    *   Sense 2: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior" (regulation).
    *   In the context of "courtroom rules," these are formal regulations. While "regulation" is a synonym for Sense 2, "prescribed guide for conduct" (Sense 12) is a very strong fit for legal/procedural rules.

    *Wait, let me re-evaluate Sense 2 vs Sense 12.*
    Sense 2: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior" (synonym: regulation). Example: "short haircuts were the regulation".
    Sense 12: "prescribed guide for conduct or action" (synonym: prescript).

    Actually, in many WordNet versions, "rule" as in "courtroom rules" (formal regulations) is often mapped to the sense of a "prescribed guide for conduct" or "regulation".

    Let's look at the synonyms again.
    Sense 2: regulation.
    Sense 12: prescript.

    Courtroom rules are definitely regulations. Are they "customary" (Sense 2) or "prescribed" (Sense 12)? They are prescribed by law or court authority.

    Let's check Sense 2 again: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior".
    Let's check Sense 12 again: "prescribed guide for conduct or action".

    "Courtroom rules" are formal requirements. "Prescribed guide" fits better than "customarily governs".

    *Self-Correction:* Let's look at the examples for Sense 2: "it was his rule to take a walk before breakfast; short haircuts were the regulation". These are more like habits or dress codes.
    Sense 12: "prescribed guide for conduct or action". This is broader and fits formal rules of procedure.

    Wait, let me double-check if there's a better sense.
    Sense 1: Game/sport.
    Sense 2: Customary behavior/regulation.
    Sense 12: Prescribed guide for conduct.

    In legal contexts, "rules of court" are prescribed guides for conduct.

    Let's compare Sense 2 and Sense 12 one more time.
    Sense 2: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior"
    Sense 12: "prescribed guide for conduct or action"

    If I have to choose the *best* one, "prescribed guide" (12) feels more formal and appropriate for a courtroom than "customarily governs" (2).

    *Wait*, let me look at Sense 2's synonym "regulation". Courtroom rules are often called "court regulations". But the definition "customarily governs" is a bit weak for law.

    Let's look at Sense 12 again. "Prescribed guide for conduct or action". This is the definition of a rule in a formal sense.

    Let's search for "courtroom rules" in a WordNet-like context. Usually, it's the sense of a formal regulation.

    Sense 2: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior"
    Sense 12: "prescribed guide for conduct or action"

    Actually, looking at the examples for Sense 2 ("short haircuts were the regulation"), it's about a standard.
    Looking at Sense 12, it's a "prescript".

    Let's try to see if "courtroom rules" fits "prescript" or "regulation".
    A prescript is an authoritative rule.
    A regulation is a rule made and maintained by an authority.

    Wait, Sense 2's synonym is "regulation". Sense 12's synonym is "prescript".
    Both are very close. However, "prescribed guide for conduct" (12) is a more direct definition of a rule of procedure.

    Let's re-read Sense 2: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior". "Customarily" is the key word here. Courtroom rules aren't just customary; they are mandatory and prescribed.

    Therefore, Sense 12 is the better fit.

Target lemma: trial

Context:
In the end, the defense says, there were more than 140,000 Twitter messages about the trial that dealt with rape and children tied to their beds in a house that was set ablaze. On Thursday, the widely followed trial of Steven J. Hayes, who was convicted of killing three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family, is set to come to an official end with the judge's imposition of the death sentence voted for by the jury. But lawyers for Mr. Hayes have already made court filings that sketch out appeals arguments that are likely to occupy the courts for years. One of the most provocative is that the intense reporting on the trial - including mainstream reporters' extensive use of Twitter - created a "circus atmosphere" and such widespread, instant saturation with inflammatory details that the jury was improperly swayed by public passions. The claim could force appeals judges to grapple with the question of whether new technology requires new courtroom rules. "As I experienced it during this <t>trial</t>, I think there's a real danger that the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting an individual's fair-trial rights," said Thomas J. Ullmann, Mr. Hayes's chief defense lawyer. The trial judge, Jon C. Blue of State Superior Court, tersely rejected the claims in a ruling last week, saying that the news media were "carefully controlled" and that there was no evidence the jury was driven by passion.

    *   Sense 1: "a venture undertaken without regard to possible loss or injury" / "risk, peril". Example: "there was a danger he would do the wrong thing". This sense often aligns with "risk" in the sense of a possibility of a negative outcome.
    *   Sense 2: "a cause of pain or injury or loss". Example: "dangers of traveling by air". This refers to the *source* of the danger (e.g., turbulence, mechanical failure). In the context, the "inclusion of new technology" is the cause, and the "danger" is the *possibility* that it's affecting rights.
    *   Sense 3: "the condition of being susceptible to harm or injury". Example: "you are in no danger". This refers to the *state* of being at risk.
    *   Sense 4: "a dangerous place". Clearly not applicable.

    *   The phrase "there's a real danger that [clause]" is a common construction meaning "there is a real risk that [clause]".
    *   Looking at Sense 1: "a venture undertaken without regard to possible loss or injury" (this definition seems a bit narrow, but the synonyms "risk, peril" and the example "there was a danger he would do the wrong thing" fit the "possibility of a negative outcome" usage).
    *   Looking at Sense 2: "a cause of pain or injury or loss". Is the "danger" the *cause*? No, the "inclusion of new technology" is the cause. The "danger" is the *risk* that this cause leads to the effect.
    *   Looking at Sense 3: "the condition of being susceptible to harm or injury". This is more about the state of the person/thing.

    *   Sense 1: "a venture undertaken without regard to possible loss or injury" (risk, peril). Example: "there was a danger he would do the wrong thing".
    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 1's definition: "a venture undertaken without regard to possible loss or injury". This sounds more like "taking a risk". But the example "there was a danger he would do the wrong thing" fits perfectly with "there's a real danger that...".

    *   Sense 1: "a venture undertaken without regard to possible loss or injury" (Synonyms: risk, peril). Example: "there was a danger he would do the wrong thing".
    *   Sense 2: "a cause of pain or injury or loss". Example: "he feared the dangers of traveling by air".
    *   Sense 3: "the condition of being susceptible to harm or injury". Example: "you are in no danger".

    In the sentence "there's a real danger that the inclusion of new technology... is affecting...", "danger" means "the possibility that something unpleasant will happen". This is synonymous with "risk".

    Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 2:
    Sense 1's definition is slightly odd ("a venture undertaken"), but its synonyms (risk, peril) and example ("there was a danger he would do the wrong thing") match the usage "there is a danger that...".
    Sense 2 is the *source* of the danger.

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 again. "a venture undertaken without regard to possible loss or injury". This definition is actually for "risk" in the sense of "taking a risk". But the example "there was a danger he would do the wrong thing" is very close to "there is a danger that...".

    Wait, let's look at Sense 2 again: "a cause of pain or injury or loss". If we say "the danger of [something]", it often refers to the risk associated with that cause. But the structure "there is a danger that [clause]" usually points to the possibility/risk.

    Let's check WordNet (via other sources) for "danger".
    - danger%1:04:00: risk, peril (a venture undertaken without regard to possible loss or injury)
    - danger%1:26:01: a cause of pain or injury or loss
    - danger%1:26:00: the condition of being susceptible to harm or injury

    In "there is a danger that...", "danger" is used as a synonym for "risk" (the possibility of something bad happening). This matches Sense 1's synonyms and example.

    *   Sense 1: "there was a danger he would do the wrong thing" -> "there's a real danger that the inclusion of new technology... is affecting..." (Perfect match).
    *   Sense 2: "he feared the dangers of traveling by air" (The dangers are the things that can go wrong, like crashes).
    *   Sense 3: "you are in no danger" (The state of being at risk).

    The usage "there is a danger that..." is a classic way to express a risk or possibility of a negative outcome. Sense 1 is the best fit.

    *   Sense 1: "the state of being included"
    *   Sense 3: "the relation of comprising something" (comprehension)
    *   Sense 4: "the act of including"

    In the phrase "the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom", it refers to the process or the fact that technology was introduced/included.

    Let's compare Sense 3 and Sense 4.
    Sense 3 example: "inclusion of so many ideas in such a short work". This is about the content of the work.
    Sense 4: "the act of including".

    Wait, let's look at Sense 1 again: "the state of being included".

    If we say "the inclusion of new technology", we are talking about the fact that it was put there or the act of putting it there.

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 4 ("the act of including") vs Sense 1 ("the state of being included").
    "The inclusion of new technology... is affecting..."
    Usually, when we talk about adding something to a setting (like technology to a courtroom), we are referring to the act or the result of that act.

    Let's look at Sense 3 again: "the relation of comprising something". This is more about logical inclusion or containment (A includes B).

    Comparing "the act of including" (4) and "the state of being included" (1).
    If the lawyer says "the inclusion of new technology... is affecting", he means the fact that it is there (state) or the act of bringing it in (act).

    Actually, looking at WordNet's typical usage:
    - "The inclusion of X in Y" often maps to the act of including (Sense 4).
    - "The inclusion of X in Y" can also map to the state (Sense 1).

    Let's look at the example for Sense 3: "he admired the inclusion of so many ideas in such a short work". This is very similar to "the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom". In the example, the "inclusion" is the fact that the ideas are present in the work.

    Wait, let's re-read Sense 4: "the act of including".
    And Sense 1: "the state of being included".

    If I say "the inclusion of women in the workforce", is that the act or the state? It's often the process/act.

    Let's look at the context again: "...the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting an individual's fair-trial rights".
    The lawyer is arguing that the *presence* or the *introduction* of the technology is the problem.

    Let's check Sense 4 again. "the act of including".
    Let's check Sense 1 again. "the state of being included".

    In many linguistic datasets for WSD, "the inclusion of [something] in [something]" where it refers to the fact that it was added or is present is often categorized as the "act of including" (Sense 4).

    Let's double-check Sense 3: "the relation of comprising something". This is more abstract/logical.

    Let's compare Sense 4 and Sense 1 again.
    Sense 4: the act of including.
    Sense 1: the state of being included.

    If the technology is already there and its presence is the issue, "state" might fit. If the process of bringing it in is the issue, "act" fits.
    "the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting..."
    This sounds like the *fact* that it was included.

    Let's look at Sense 4 again. "the act of including".
    In many contexts, "the inclusion of X" is treated as the act.

    Let's try to find similar examples for Sense 4.
    "The inclusion of the new clause in the contract..." (The act of putting it in).

    Let's look at Sense 1: "the state of being included".
    "Social inclusion" (the state of being included in society).

    In the courtroom context, "the inclusion of new technology" is more like "the act of including" or "the fact of including".

    Wait, let's look at Sense 3 again: "the relation of comprising something".
    Example: "he admired the inclusion of so many ideas in such a short work".
    This example is almost identical in structure to "the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom".
    "inclusion of [X] in [Y]".

    Let's re-examine Sense 3 vs Sense 4.
    Sense 3: "the relation of comprising something" (synonym: comprehension).
    Sense 4: "the act of including".

    If the lawyer is talking about the *fact* that technology is now part of the courtroom process, is that a "relation of comprising" or an "act of including"?

    Actually, "the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom" refers to the practice of allowing/using it. This is more of an "act" (the decision to include it) or the "state" (it is now included).

    Let's look at the senses again.
    1. state of being included
    2. intracellular body
    3. relation of comprising something
    4. act of including

    If I have to choose the *best* one:
    Sense 4 ("the act of including") is a very common fit for "the inclusion of X in Y".
    Sense 3 ("the relation of comprising something") is more about the property of the container (the work comprises the ideas).

    Let's think about "the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom". Is the courtroom "comprising" the technology? Not really in a logical sense. Is it the "act" of including it? Yes, the decision to allow it.

    Let's re-read Sense 4: "the act of including".
    Let's re-read Sense 1: "the state of being included".

    If the lawyer says "the inclusion... is affecting", he's likely referring to the fact that it was brought in.

    Let's search for "inclusion of" in WordNet-based corpora.
    "The inclusion of X in Y" is frequently mapped to "the act of including".

    Let's double-check Sense 3 again. "the relation of comprising something".
    Example: "he admired the inclusion of so many ideas in such a short work".
    In this example, the "inclusion" is the fact that the work contains the ideas.

    Wait, if Sense 3's example is "inclusion of so many ideas in such a short work", and our sentence is "inclusion of new technology in the courtroom", they are structurally identical.

    Let's look at the synonym for Sense 3: "comprehension".
    Comprehension here means "the act or state of comprising or including".

    Let's look at Sense 4 again: "the act of including".

    This is tricky. Let's look at the nuance.
    Sense 4: The act of including (the process of adding).
    Sense 3: The relation of comprising (the fact that it is included/contained).

    In "the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting...", is it the *act* of adding it or the *fact* that it is now part of the environment?
    It's the fact that it's there.

    If Sense 3 is "the relation of comprising something" and the example is "inclusion of so many ideas in such a short work", then Sense 3 is about the *fact* of containment.

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 4: "the act of including".
    If the lawyer meant the *act* of including, he would be talking about the moment it was introduced. But he's talking about the ongoing effect of its presence.

    Wait, let me look at Sense 1 again: "the state of being included".
    "Social inclusion" is the state of being included.
    "The inclusion of new technology" - is the technology in a "state of being included"? Yes.

    This is a very fine-grained distinction.
    Sense 1: state of being included
    Sense 3: relation of comprising something
    Sense 4: act of including

    Let's look at the example for Sense 3 again: "he admired the inclusion of so many ideas in such a short work".
    This is almost exactly the same as "the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom".
    The "inclusion" is the fact that the ideas are in the work.
    The "inclusion" is the fact that the technology is in the courtroom.

    Let's check Sense 4 again: "the act of including".
    If the sentence was "The inclusion of the new evidence by the judge was controversial", that would be the *act*.

    In "the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting...", it's more about the *presence* (the relation of comprising/containing).

    Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 3.
    Sense 1: "the state of being included" (usually refers to the person or thing being included, e.g., "the inclusion of women in politics").
    Sense 3: "the relation of comprising something" (usually refers to the container's property of including something, e.g., "the inclusion of ideas in a work").

    In "the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom", the "inclusion" is the fact that the courtroom now "comprises" or "includes" this technology.

    Let's double-check the example for Sense 3 one more time: "he admired the inclusion of so many ideas in such a short work".
    This matches the structure "the inclusion of [X] in [Y]" perfectly.

    Let's check Sense 4 again: "the act of including".
    If the lawyer is talking about the *policy* or *practice* of including technology, that could be the "act".

    However, the example for Sense 3 is so close that it's the strongest candidate.

    Wait, let me think about Sense 4 again. "the act of including".
    If I say "the inclusion of new technology", am I talking about the *act* of putting it there or the *fact* that it is there?
    Usually, "the inclusion of X in Y" can be either. But the example for Sense 3 specifically uses "the inclusion of so many ideas in such a short work", which is a very similar construction.

    Let's re-read Sense 1: "the state of being included".
    If the technology is "included", it is in a "state of being included".

    Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 3: "comprehension".
    In a philosophical or logical sense, comprehension is the act of including several attributes.

    Let's look at Sense 4 again: "the act of including".
    If the lawyer is saying "the inclusion of new technology... is affecting", he's likely referring to the *fact* that it's being used.

    Let's search for "inclusion of" in other WSD tasks.
    Often, "the inclusion of X in Y" is mapped to "the act of including" if it's a decision, and "the state of being included" if it's a condition.

    Wait, let's look at the example for Sense 3 again. "he admired the inclusion of so many ideas in such a short work".
    This is not about the *act* of the author putting the ideas in, but about the *result*—that the work contains them.

    Similarly, "the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom" is about the *result*—that the courtroom now contains/uses this technology.

    Therefore, Sense 3 seems like the best fit because of the example.

    Let's double-check Sense 4 one more time. "the act of including".
    If the lawyer meant the *act*, he would be focusing on the *process* of adding the technology. But he's focusing on the *effect* of its presence.

    Let's double-check Sense 1. "the state of being included".
    This is often used for people (social inclusion).

    So, Sense 3 ("the relation of comprising something") with the example "the inclusion of so many ideas in such a short work" is the closest match.

    Wait, let me think about this again.
    Sense 3: "the relation of comprising something"
    Sense 4: "the act of including"

    Is "the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom" a "relation of comprising"?
    The courtroom (the environment/process) comprises the use of technology.
    The work (the book) comprises the ideas.

    Yes, it fits.

    Let's just quickly check if Sense 4 is more common.
    "The inclusion of X in Y"
    If I say "The inclusion of the new player in the team", is that the act of adding him or the fact that he's on the team? It could be both.

    But the example for Sense 3 is almost a perfect parallel.
    Example 3: "inclusion of so many ideas in such a short work"
    Context: "inclusion of new technology in the courtroom"

    Both follow the pattern: "the inclusion of [plural/uncountable noun] in [singular noun/location/container]".

    Let's compare this to Sense 4: "the act of including".
    If the focus is on the *action* of the judge or the court allowing the technology, it's Sense 4.
    If the focus is on the *fact* that the technology is now part of the trial, it's Sense 3.

    The lawyer says: "I think there's a real danger that the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting an individual's fair-trial rights".
    He is talking about the *presence* and *use* of the technology, not the specific *act* of the judge deciding to allow it.

    Therefore, Sense 3 is the most likely.

    Wait, let me re-read Sense 1: "the state of being included".
    Could it be Sense 1?
    "the state of being included"
    If the technology is in the courtroom, it is in the state of being included.
    But "the inclusion of X in Y" is more often the *fact* of the inclusion (Sense 3) or the *act* of including (Sense 4).

    Let's look at the example for Sense 3 again. "he admired the inclusion of so many ideas in such a short work".
    This is definitely the "fact of being included" or "the relation of comprising".

    Final check:
    Sense 1: state of being included (e.g., social inclusion)
    Sense 2: cellular inclusion (biology)
    Sense 3: relation of comprising something (e.g., ideas in a work)
    Sense 4: act of including (e.g., adding a name to a list)

    The context "inclusion of new technology in the courtroom" matches the structure and meaning of the example for Sense 3.
