raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "involvement" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a conference organized by a Foundation, focusing on various interest groups and their roles, including service users. It mentions the involvement of users in service planning and provision.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The target word is "involvement," and it is used in the context of service users being involved in service provision.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. the act of sharing in the activities of a group**: This sense aligns with the context as it talks about users being involved in service provision, which can be seen as sharing in the activities related to service provision.
   - **2. a connection of inclusion or containment**: While this is a possible sense of involvement, the context doesn't directly suggest a connection or containment in a physical or abstract sense that isn't covered by the first sense.
   - **3. a sense of concern with and curiosity about someone or something**: This sense doesn't directly apply to the context of actively participating in service provision.
   - **4. a usually secretive or illicit sexual relationship**: This sense is unrelated to the context provided.
   - **5. the condition of sharing in common with others**: This sense is somewhat related but is more about sharing a condition or status rather than actively participating in an activity.

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - The context clearly indicates that "involvement" refers to the act of service users participating or being engaged in service provision.
   - Sense 1 ("the act of sharing in the activities of a group") directly corresponds to this interpretation, as it involves participation or engagement in activities, which in this case is service provision.
   - The synonym "participation" in sense 1 further supports this choice, as it directly relates to the context of being involved in service provision.

5. **Conclusion**: The most appropriate sense for "involvement" in the given context is the first sense, which is about sharing in the activities of a group or participation.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is: {"sense_index": 1}

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "service" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a conference involving various interest groups, including public authorities, social partners, voluntary and community organizations, and service users. It mentions the involvement of users in "service planning" and "service provision."

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The target word is "service," which appears in the phrase "service provision." The context suggests that "service" refers to the act of providing something (likely a benefit or assistance) to others.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. work done by one person or group that benefits another**: This definition aligns with the context, as "service provision" can be understood as work done to benefit others.
   - **2. an act of help or assistance**: While this is a plausible definition, it's more about a specific act rather than an ongoing provision.
   - **Other senses** relate to religious service, a company performing a public service, employment, military service, and other more specific or unrelated definitions.

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - The context indicates that "service" is related to the provision of something beneficial, likely referring to the work or actions done by organizations or entities to benefit others (in this case, "service users").
   - Sense 1 ("work done by one person or group that benefits another") fits this interpretation well, as it encompasses the idea of services being provided to users.

5. **Conclusion**: Based on the context and the definitions provided, the most appropriate sense for "service" is the one that relates to work done for the benefit of others.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is: {"sense_index": 1}

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "provision" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is about a conference discussing the involvement of users in service planning and their role in service provision. The sentence specifically mentions that "their involvement in service provision was found to be more common."

1. The first candidate sense defines "provision" as "a stipulated condition" with a synonym "proviso." This doesn't fit the context as the discussion is not about conditions or provisos related to service provision.

2. The second candidate sense defines "provision" as "the activity of supplying or providing something" with synonyms "supply" and "supplying." This sense aligns well with the context, as it discusses the involvement of users in the activity of providing services.

3. The third candidate sense refers to "the cognitive process of thinking about what you will do in the event of something happening" with synonyms "planning" and "preparation." While planning is mentioned in the context (involving users in service planning), the term "provision" is used separately to refer to the act of providing services, not the planning process itself.

4. The fourth candidate sense defines "provision" as "a store or supply of something." While this could be related to the outcome of the activity of supplying, the context emphasizes the activity or process (involvement in service provision) rather than the stock or supply itself.

Given the context and the definitions, the most appropriate sense is the second one, which is about the activity of supplying or providing something. This matches the discussion about the involvement of users in the process of service provision.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "found" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "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."

Here, "found" is used in the context of discovering or determining the existence or fact of something through investigation or study. The phrase "was found to be more common" suggests that some form of investigation or analysis was conducted, and as a result, it was discovered that the involvement of users in service provision was more common than expected.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. come upon, as if by accident; meet with - Not the best fit because the context implies a more systematic investigation rather than an accidental discovery.
2. discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of - This is a strong candidate because it aligns with the context of discovering something through investigation.
3. come upon after searching; find the location of something that was missed or lost - Not the best fit because the context is not about locating something that was lost.
4. establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study - This is a very plausible sense because it directly relates to determining or discovering something through a systematic process.
5. come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds - Not the best fit because the context suggests a more objective investigation.
6. perceive or be contemporaneous with - Not directly relevant to the context.
7. get something or somebody for a specific purpose - Not relevant to the context.
8. make a discovery, make a new finding - While related, this sense is broader and not as directly connected to the context as some other options.
9. make a discovery - Similar to sense 8, it's related but not the most precise fit.
10. obtain through effort or management - Not directly relevant to the context.
11. decide on and make a declaration about - Not the best fit because the context is more about discovering a fact than making a judgment.
12. receive a specified treatment (abstract) - Not relevant to the context.
13. perceive oneself to be in a certain condition or place - Not relevant to the context.
14. get or find back; recover the use of - Not relevant to the context.
15. succeed in reaching; arrive at - Not directly relevant to the context.
16. accept and make use of one's personality, abilities, and situation - Not relevant to the context.

Given the context and the analysis, the most appropriate sense is "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study" (sense_index: 4), as it directly relates to the process of investigation or study that led to the discovery that user involvement in service provision was more common.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "more" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information.

The sentence where "more" is used is: "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."

Here, "more" is used to form the comparative of the adjective "common." The context is comparing the frequency or extent of user involvement in service planning versus service provision.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense defines "more" as used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs, with the synonym "to a greater extent" and examples like "more interesting" or "more beautiful." This sense is relevant because "more common" is a comparative form of the adjective "common."

2. The second sense defines "more" as the comparative of "much," indicating a greater degree or extent, with examples like "he works more now" or "they eat more than they should." This sense typically relates to the quantity or amount of something, often used with uncountable nouns or verbs.

In the given context, "more common" is used to compare the frequency of two types of involvement (in service planning vs. in service provision). Here, "more" is modifying the adjective "common," which describes the state of being of "their involvement in service provision." The usage aligns with forming a comparative of an adjective ("common") to indicate a greater degree of that adjective.

Therefore, the best sense for "more" in this context is the one that involves forming the comparative of an adjective, which is the first candidate sense.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "common" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "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."

The context is discussing the involvement of users in service planning and provision, and it notes that while the former is relatively rare, the latter is more frequent or widespread.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. Belonging to or participated in by a community as a whole; public. This doesn't directly fit the context of frequency or prevalence.
2. Having no special distinction or quality; widely known or commonly encountered; average or ordinary or usual. This sense is plausible because it relates to something being common or usual.
3. Common to or shared by two or more parties. This doesn't directly apply to the context of frequency.
4. Commonly encountered. This is a strong candidate because it directly relates to the frequency or prevalence of something.
5. Being or characteristic of or appropriate to everyday language. This doesn't fit the context.
6. Of or associated with the great masses of people. This doesn't directly relate to the context of frequency or prevalence in the given sentence.
7. Of low or inferior quality or value. This doesn't fit the context.
8. Lacking refinement or cultivation or taste. This is not relevant to the context.
9. To be expected; standard. This could be considered in terms of something being usual or expected.

Given the context, the word "common" is used to describe the relative frequency or prevalence of user involvement in service provision compared to service planning. The closest sense that matches this usage is "commonly encountered" or "usual," which aligns with sense 4, as it directly pertains to the frequency or commonality of an occurrence.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "common" in this context is sense 4.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "variety" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

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

Here, "variety" refers to the diversity or range of different roles.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **A collection containing a variety of sorts of things**: This sense fits the context as it refers to a collection (of roles) that contains different sorts of things (different roles). The synonyms (assortment, mixture, mixed bag, miscellany, miscellanea, salmagundi) and examples (a great assortment of cars was on display; he had a variety of disorders) support this interpretation.

2. **Noticeable heterogeneity**: This sense refers to the state of being diverse or heterogeneous. The synonyms (diverseness, diversity, multifariousness) and examples (a diversity of possibilities; the range and variety of his work is amazing) suggest that "variety" here indicates a quality of being diverse.

3. **(Biology) a taxonomic category consisting of members of a species that differ from others of the same species in minor but heritable characteristics**: This sense is specific to biology and taxonomy, which doesn't fit the context of discussing roles played by public welfare.

4. **A show consisting of a series of short unrelated performances**: This sense is related to entertainment, specifically a "variety show," which doesn't fit the given context.

5. **A category of things distinguished by some common characteristic or quality**: This sense refers to categorizing things based on shared characteristics. While it involves classification, it doesn't directly convey the idea of diversity or range of different things.

6. **A difference that is usually pleasant**: This sense implies a change or something different that is pleasing. The synonym (change) and examples (he goes to France for variety; it is a refreshing change to meet a woman mechanic) suggest a positive aspect of difference, which isn't the primary focus in the given context.

Given the context, "variety" is used to indicate a range or diversity of roles played by public welfare. Both senses 1 and 2 seem plausible as they relate to the concept of having different sorts of things or being heterogeneous. However, sense 1 directly refers to "a collection containing a variety of sorts of things," which aligns closely with the phrase "variety of different roles," indicating a collection or assortment of roles.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "variety" in this context is **1**.

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 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 <t>different</t> 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.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the word "different" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

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

Here, "different" is used to describe the variety of roles played by public welfare. The context suggests that these roles are not the same; they are distinct or varied.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense defines "different" as unlike in nature or quality or form or degree. The example given is "took different approaches to the problem." This sense fits the context because it implies that the roles played by public welfare are unlike each other in some aspect.

2. The second sense implies a separation or distinction from the first of a series or sequence ("that's another issue altogether"). While it suggests distinctness, it doesn't directly apply to the variety of roles.

3. The third sense suggests that something is unusual or not ordinary ("advertising that strives continually to be different"). The context doesn't directly imply that the roles are unusual, just that they are varied.

4. The fourth sense is similar to the first, emphasizing marked dissimilarity ("for twins they are very unlike"). It suggests a significant difference, which could apply but is not the most straightforward interpretation.

5. The fifth sense emphasizes that things are distinct or separate ("each interviewed different members of the community"). This could apply as it suggests that the roles are separate or distinct.

Given the context, the most appropriate interpretation is that "different" is used to indicate that the roles played by public welfare are unlike or dissimilar to each other, highlighting a variety. The first sense ("different%3:00:00::") directly addresses this by defining "different" as unlike in nature or quality or form or degree, and the example "took different approaches to the problem" closely aligns with the context of having different roles.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is the first one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "played" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

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

The context is discussing a conference and the involvement of various groups and organizations in service planning and provision. The phrase "variety of different roles played by public welfare" suggests that "played" is being used to indicate the different functions or parts that public welfare has or has taken in the context being discussed.

Let's look at the candidate senses:

1. participate in games or sport - This doesn't fit the context as "played" is not referring to a game or sport.
2. act or have an effect in a specified way or with a specific effect or outcome - This is a possible sense as it involves having an effect or role.
3. play on an instrument - Not relevant as there's no mention of music.
4. play a role or part - This is a strong candidate because "played" is directly related to "roles," indicating the parts or functions that public welfare has taken on.
5. be at play; be engaged in playful activity - Not relevant as the context is formal and not about playful activity.
6. & 7. replay (as a melody) or perform music on (a musical instrument) - Not relevant due to the lack of musical context.
8. pretend to have certain qualities or state of mind - Not directly relevant as "played" is not about pretending but about actual roles.
9. move or seem to move quickly, lightly, or irregularly - Not relevant as it doesn't fit the context of discussing roles.
10. bet or wager (money) - Not relevant as there's no context of betting.
11. engage in recreational activities rather than work - Not relevant as the context is about roles in a formal or organizational setting.
12. pretend to be somebody in the framework of a game or playful activity - Not relevant due to the formal context.
13. & 14. & 18. emit recorded sound, perform on a certain location, or cause to emit recorded audio or video - Not relevant as there's no mention of sound, video, or specific performance locations.
15. put (a card or piece) into play during a game - Not directly relevant as it's more about strategy or games.
16. engage in an activity as if it were a game rather than take it seriously - Not the best fit as "played" is used in a more formal or literal sense.
17. behave in a certain way - While somewhat relevant, it's not as directly related to "roles" as another sense is.
4. play a role or part - This is the most fitting sense as it directly relates to the context of discussing the different roles or functions that public welfare has.

The best sense for "played" in the given context is "play a role or part."

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "public" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a conference organized by The Foundation, along with other entities, focusing on social exclusion and the role of various actors in welfare services. The term "public welfare" is used in the context of services and authorities.

2. **Understanding the Term "public"**: In this context, "public" is used as an adjective to describe "welfare" and "authorities." The phrase "public welfare" refers to the well-being or welfare of the general population or community, often associated with services or policies provided by the government or public sector.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "not private; open to or concerning the people as a whole." Examples given include "public good" and "public libraries." This sense emphasizes the accessibility or relevance of something to the general population.
   - **Sense 2**: "affecting the people or community as a whole." The examples provided are "community leaders" and "community interests." This sense focuses on the impact or relevance of something to the community.

4. **Relating Candidate Senses to the Context**: The term "public welfare" is directly related to the concept of welfare concerning or affecting the people as a whole. Both candidate senses relate to the concept of something being relevant to or concerning the general population. However, the specific usage of "public welfare" aligns more closely with the idea of something being related to or concerning the people as a whole, which is more directly addressed by Sense 1.

5. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**: Given that the first sense ("not private; open to or concerning the people as a whole") is indexed as 1 and directly relates to the concept of "public welfare" as being concerning the people as a whole, and considering that "public authorities" also fits this interpretation as they are entities that serve or are open to the public, Sense 1 is the most appropriate.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "public" in the given context is Sense 1.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "welfare" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a conference organized by a Foundation, in collaboration with other entities, focusing on social exclusion and the role of various actors including public authorities and community organizations. The term "welfare" is used in the context of "public welfare services," indicating services provided by the government or public sector aimed at supporting individuals in need.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **Sense 1**: "governmental provision of economic assistance to persons in need" with synonyms "social welfare, public assistance" and an example "she lives on welfare." This sense aligns closely with the context of public welfare services and the discussion around social exclusion and support.
   - **Sense 2**: "something that aids or promotes well-being" with a synonym "benefit" and an example "for the benefit of all." While this sense is related to the general idea of welfare, it's broader and not specifically tied to governmental or public assistance.
   - **Sense 3**: "a contented state of being happy and healthy and prosperous" with synonyms "wellbeing, upbeat, eudaemonia, eudaimonia" and an example "the town was finally on the upbeat after our recent troubles." This sense refers to a state of being rather than services or provisions.

3. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context specifically mentions "public welfare services," which directly relates to services provided by the government or public sector for the assistance of those in need.
   - **Sense 1** directly corresponds to this context, as it refers to "governmental provision of economic assistance to persons in need." The use of "public welfare" in the passage matches the "public assistance" synonym provided for this sense.
   - While **Sense 2** is related, it's more general and doesn't specifically capture the governmental or public service aspect emphasized in the context.
   - **Sense 3** is not relevant to the context of services or provisions but rather to a state of well-being.

Given the context and the analysis above, the most appropriate sense for "welfare" is **Sense 1**, as it directly relates to governmental or public assistance, aligning with the discussion on "public welfare services."

Therefore, the best indexed sense is: {"sense_index": 1}

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "Foundation" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The context revolves around an organization named "The Foundation" that is involved in organizing conferences, publishing studies, and collaborating with other entities like the European Commission and governmental bodies. This suggests that "Foundation" refers to an entity that is likely involved in charitable, educational, or research activities.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **1. sense_key=foundation%1:24:00::**: Refers to the basis on which something is grounded. The context does not directly relate to this abstract concept.
   - **2. sense_key=foundation%1:14:00::**: Defines an institution supported by an endowment. This aligns with the context where "The Foundation" is described as organizing events and publishing studies, activities typical of organizations supported by endowments.
   - **3. sense_key=foundation%1:06:00::**: Relates to the lowest support of a structure. This is more of a physical or architectural definition and doesn't fit the context.
   - **4. sense_key=foundation%1:09:01::**: Pertains to education or instruction in the fundamentals of a field. While related to knowledge, it doesn't directly fit the organizational role described.
   - **5. sense_key=foundation%1:09:00::**: Concerns the fundamental assumptions from which something is begun or developed. Again, this is more abstract and doesn't directly relate to the organizational activities described.
   - **6. sense_key=foundation%1:06:01::**: Refers to a type of undergarment, which is unrelated to the context.
   - **7. sense_key=foundation%1:04:00::**: Involves the act of starting something new. While "Foundation" could imply the act of founding, the context clearly refers to an existing entity, not the act itself.

3. **Decision**: Based on the context and the definitions provided, the most suitable sense is **2. sense_key=foundation%1:14:00::**, as it accurately describes "The Foundation" as an institution supported by an endowment, which is consistent with the activities and role described in the context.

4. **Indexed Sense**: The sense key provided corresponds to the second definition. The task requires identifying the sense index, not the sense key. The definitions are indexed starting from 1, so the correct indexed sense is **2**.

Therefore, the response should be: {"sense_index": 2}

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "Ministry" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The context is about a conference organized by The Foundation, along with the European Commission, the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs, and the Galician regional government. The topic is social exclusion and public welfare services. This context indicates a governmental or administrative setting.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **1. sense_key=ministry%1:14:01::**: Refers to "religious ministers collectively (especially Presbyterian)". The context does not relate to religious ministers, so this sense is unlikely.
   - **2. sense_key=ministry%1:06:00::**: Refers to "building where the business of a government department is transacted". While this is related to government, the context does not specifically mention a building.
   - **3. sense_key=ministry%1:14:00::**: Refers to "a government department under the direction of a minister". The context mentions "the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs", which fits this definition as it refers to a government department.
   - **4. sense_key=ministry%1:04:00::**: Refers to "the work of a minister of religion". The context is not about religious work, so this sense is not applicable.

3. **Decision**: Based on the context and the definitions provided, the most appropriate sense is **3. a government department under the direction of a minister**, as "the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs" clearly refers to a government department.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "Ministry" in the given context is: {"sense_index": 3}.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "Affairs" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses the activities of a Foundation, including organizing a conference on a critical challenge related to public welfare services and social exclusion. It mentions the involvement of various entities such as public authorities, social partners, and community organizations. The target word "Affairs" appears in the phrase "Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs."

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "Affairs" is used in the context of a government ministry, specifically the "Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs." This suggests that "Affairs" refers to matters or issues related to social concerns or public interest.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. matters of personal concern**: This sense doesn't fit well because the context is about public or organizational matters rather than personal ones.
   - **2. transactions of professional or public interest**: This sense seems relevant as it involves matters of public interest, and government ministries often deal with such transactions or issues.
   - **3. a vaguely specified concern**: While this is a possible interpretation, it's too vague for the specific context of a government ministry's name.
   - **4. a usually secretive or illicit sexual relationship**: This sense is not relevant to the context of a government ministry or public welfare services.
   - **5. a vaguely specified social event**: This doesn't fit the context as "Affairs" is part of a ministry's name, not referring to an event.

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**: Given the context and the examples, the most appropriate sense is related to "transactions of professional or public interest" because it aligns with the role of a government ministry dealing with social issues.

5. **Matching to Indexed Sense**: The description "transactions of professional or public interest" corresponds to the second candidate sense, which is indexed as 2.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "Affairs" in the given context is 2.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "regional" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The context is about a conference organized by The Foundation along with other entities, including the Galician "regional government," on the topic of social exclusion and its challenge for public welfare services. The term "regional" is used to describe the government.

2. **Understanding the Term "regional"**: In this context, "regional" is used to describe a level of government. The Galician regional government refers to the government of an autonomous region within a country, likely Spain given the mention of the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "characteristic of a region" with an example of "regional flora." This sense focuses on characteristics or features that are typical or unique to a particular region.
   - **Sense 2**: "related or limited to a particular region" with an example of "a regional dialect." This sense emphasizes something being associated with or confined to a specific geographic or administrative area.

4. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The term "regional government" refers to a government that operates within a specific administrative or geographic region. This usage aligns more closely with the idea of being "related or limited to a particular region" because it specifies a level of governance tied to a particular area.
   - While "characteristic of a region" could potentially apply, the primary meaning here is not to describe a characteristic but to denote the level or scope of governance.

5. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Given the context and the examples, "regional government" is best understood as a government related to or limited to a particular region, which matches **Sense 2**.

6. **Indexed Sense Number**: The candidate senses are listed as "1. sense_key=regional%3:01:00::" and "2. sense_key=regional%5:00:00:territorial:00". The correct sense, based on our analysis, corresponds to the second listing.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "regional" in the given context is **2**.

1. **Context Analysis**: The context is about a conference organized by The Foundation, along with the European Commission, the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs, and the Galician regional government. The topic is related to social exclusion and public welfare services. The term "government" here refers to a specific regional governing body.

   - **Sense 1**: Refers to "the organization that is the governing authority of a political unit." The synonyms are "authorities" and "regime." An example given is "the government reduced taxes."
   - **Sense 2**: Relates to "the act of governing; exercising authority." Synonyms include "governing," "governance," "government activity," and "administration."

   - The context does not directly discuss the act of governing or the system of governance, though it implies the involvement of a governing body in organizing a conference.
   - The focus is not on the study of government or political science.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - **Sense 1** fits well because "the Galician regional government" refers to a specific governing authority or organization, aligning with "the organization that is the governing authority of a political unit."
   - While **Sense 3** could be considered because it talks about the system or form of government, the context more directly refers to an instance or entity (the Galician regional government) rather than the abstract system or form of governance.

5. **Conclusion**: The most appropriate sense is **Sense 1** because it directly corresponds to "the Galician regional government" as an organization or authority governing a political unit (the Galician region).

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "government" in the given context is Sense 1.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "conference" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses the Foundation's involvement in organizing a meeting that dealt with a critical challenge related to social exclusion and public welfare services. It mentions that over 100 participants attended and debated various issues.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The target word is "conference," which appears in the context of an event organized by the Foundation along with other entities.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. sense_key=conference%1:14:00::**: This sense defines a conference as "a prearranged meeting for consultation or exchange of information or discussion (especially one with a formal agenda)". The context provided matches this definition as it describes a meeting organized by the Foundation with a specific topic (social exclusion and public welfare services) and mentions participation and debate.
   - **2. sense_key=conference%1:14:01::**: This defines a conference as "an association of sports teams that organizes matches for its members," synonymous with "league." The context does not relate to sports teams or matches.
   - **3. sense_key=conference%1:10:00::**: This sense refers to "a discussion among participants who have an agreed (serious) topic," with "group discussion" as a synonym. While the passage does involve discussion, the primary reference is to the event (meeting) itself rather than the act of discussion.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context clearly indicates that "conference" refers to a prearranged meeting with a formal agenda, which aligns with **sense_index=1**. The details about organization, participation, and debate support this interpretation.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a conference organized by The Foundation, along with other entities, on the topic of "social exclusion" and its relation to public welfare services. It mentions various stakeholders, including public authorities, social partners, and community organizations.

2. **Understanding the Target**: The target word is "social" as it appears in the phrase "social exclusion."

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. relating to human society and its members**: This sense is relevant as "social exclusion" refers to the exclusion of certain groups from societal benefits or participation.
   - **2. living together or enjoying life in communities or organized groups**: While related, this sense is more about the behavior or nature of living in groups, which isn't directly the focus of "social exclusion."
   - **3. relating to or belonging to or characteristic of high society**: This sense is not directly relevant to the context of "social exclusion" as used in the passage, which doesn't pertain to high society.
   - **4. composed of sociable people or formed for the purpose of sociability**: This doesn't directly relate to the concept of "social exclusion" as discussed.
   - **5. tending to move or live together in groups or colonies of the same kind**: This is more relevant to biological or zoological contexts, not directly to the concept of "social exclusion" in human societies.
   - **6. marked by friendly companionship with others**: This sense is also not directly relevant to the discussion of "social exclusion."

4. **Relating to the Context**: The term "social exclusion" refers to the process of being marginalized or excluded from social, economic, or political systems. The most relevant sense of "social" here relates to human society and its members.

5. **Choosing the Best Sense**: The first sense, "relating to human society and its members," is the most appropriate as it directly relates to the concept of "social exclusion" and fits the context of discussing societal issues and public welfare.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "social" in the given context is: {"sense_index": 1}.
