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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a European conference on social exclusion and a study conducted as part of the EPOC project. It mentions that the study is based on personal interviews with "senior officials" of the social partners. The context suggests a professional or organizational setting.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "senior" is used to describe "officials." In this context, it implies a level of experience, rank, or tenure.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "older; higher in rank; longer in length of tenure or service." The example given is "senior officer." This sense aligns with the context of describing officials in terms of their rank or tenure.
   - **Sense 2**: "used of the fourth and final year in United States high school or college." This is related to an educational context, specifically referring to the senior year. The context provided does not relate to educational institutions or the United States.
   - **Sense 3**: "advanced in years; (`aged' is pronounced as two syllables)." This sense focuses on the age aspect, with synonyms like "aged," "elderly," and "older." While it could potentially apply to "officials," the context does not specifically emphasize age but rather implies a level of seniority or rank.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context clearly indicates that "senior" is used to describe the rank or status of "officials" within organizations, not their age or an educational context.
   - **Sense 1** directly corresponds to this interpretation, as it refers to a higher rank or longer tenure, which is consistent with the description of "officials" in a professional or organizational setting.

5. **Conclusion**: Based on the context and the definitions provided, the most appropriate sense for "senior" is the first one, which corresponds to a higher rank or longer tenure.

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

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

The context discusses a European conference on social exclusion and a study involving senior officials of the social partners, representing national-level peak organisations in fifteen European countries. The focus is on the roles of various entities, including public authorities, social partners, and voluntary organisations, in the context of public welfare services.

The target word "officials" is used in the phrase "senior officials of the social partners." Here, "social partners" typically refers to organisations or entities that represent the interests of employers or employees, such as trade unions and employer associations.

Now, let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense defines an "official" as "a worker who holds or is invested with an office" and is associated with the synonym "functionary." This sense aligns with the context, as "officials" in the phrase "senior officials of the social partners" refers to individuals who hold positions or offices within these organisations.

2. The second sense defines an "official" as "someone who administers the rules of a game or sport," with an example involving a golfer asking for a ruling. This sense does not fit the context, as the discussion is about social exclusion, public welfare services, and the roles of various organisations, not about sports or games.

Given the context and the definitions provided, the first sense ("a worker who holds or is invested with an office") is the most appropriate for the target word "officials." It corresponds to the first candidate sense.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "officials" in the given context is the first one.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The context revolves around a conference and a study related to "social partners," "social exclusion," and "public welfare services." The term "social partners" is used in the context of labor relations and refers to employers' organizations and trade unions.

2. **Understanding "Social Partners"**: The term "social partners" is commonly used in European labor law and social policy to refer to the organizations representing employers and workers (trade unions). This usage is related to societal or social structures and institutions.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. relating to human society and its members**: This sense is relevant as "social partners" and "social exclusion" relate to societal structures and issues.
   - **2. living together or enjoying life in communities or organized groups**: While this could be tangentially related, it's more about the nature of human or animal behavior rather than the specific context of societal or institutional roles.
   - **3. relating to or belonging to or characteristic of high society**: This sense doesn't fit the context as "social partners" doesn't refer to high society.
   - **4. composed of sociable people or formed for the purpose of sociability**: This doesn't directly relate to the use of "social" in "social partners" or "social exclusion."
   - **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 the given context.
   - **6. marked by friendly companionship with others**: This sense is too general and doesn't capture the specific institutional or societal connotation of "social" in the given context.

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**: The term "social" in "social partners" and "social exclusion" relates to societal structures and issues, aligning with the first sense: "relating to human society and its members." The examples given, such as "social institutions" and "societal evolution," support this interpretation.

5. **Conclusion**: The best indexed sense for "social" in the given context is the first one.

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

The context is about a study conducted by The Foundation, in collaboration with other organizations, which involves interviews with senior officials of the social partners as representatives of national level peak organisations in fifteen European countries. The key phrase here is "senior officials of the social partners as representatives of national level peak organisations," indicating that these representatives are acting on behalf of or in the interest of these organisations.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=representative%1:18:00::** - This definition states that a representative is "a person who represents others." The context fits this definition as the senior officials are representing national level peak organisations.

2. **sense_key=representative%1:18:02::** - This defines a representative as "an advocate who represents someone else's policy or purpose," with synonyms like spokesperson, interpreter, voice. While this could potentially fit, the context doesn't explicitly mention advocating for a policy or purpose, though it could be inferred.

3. **sense_key=representative%1:18:01::** - This refers to "a member of the United States House of Representatives," which is clearly not relevant to the context that involves European countries and organisations.

4. **sense_key=representative%1:09:00::** - This defines a representative as "an item of information that is typical of a class or group." The context does not fit this definition as the term is used to refer to people, not items of information.

Given the context, the most fitting definition is the first one: "a person who represents others." The term "representatives" refers to senior officials acting on behalf of national level peak organisations, which aligns with this sense.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is the first one.

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

The sentence is: "...representatives of national level peak organisations in fifteen European countries."

Here, "national" is used to describe "level peak organisations." The context suggests that "national" refers to the level or scope of these organisations, indicating they operate at the level of a nation or country.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. "of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country" - This is a broad definition that could apply, but let's see if there's a more specific fit.
2. "limited to or in the interests of a particular nation" - This sense implies a focus on the interests of a nation, which isn't directly relevant to describing the level of organisations.
3. "concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country" - This definition fits well because "national level" organisations are those that operate or are relevant at the level of an entire nation.
4. "owned or maintained for the public by the national government" - This sense is too specific regarding ownership or maintenance by the government, which isn't indicated in the context.
5. "inside the country" - This sense is more about being within the boundaries of a country, which is not the focus here.
6. "characteristic of or peculiar to the people of a nation" - This refers to a trait or characteristic specific to a nation's people, not the level or scope of organisations.
7. "of or relating to nationality" - While related to nations, this sense is more about the concept of nationality rather than the level or scope of organisations.

Given the context, the most appropriate sense is the one that describes something as being at or related to the level of an entire nation or country. Sense 3 ("concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country") fits this description best, as it aligns with the notion of "national level" organisations.

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

The sentence is: "...as representatives of national <t>level</t> peak organisations in fifteen European countries."

From the context, it's clear that "level" is being used to describe the scope or scale of the peak organisations, indicating they operate at a national scale.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **"a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality"** - While this could potentially fit, the context doesn't directly imply a scale of intensity, amount, or quality.

2. **"a relative position or degree of value in a graded group"** - This sense is plausible because it implies a categorization or ranking, which could apply to organizations being categorized by their operational scope (e.g., local, national, international).

3. **"a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process"** - This sense is also plausible as it refers to a point or stage in a series, which could apply to the operational scope or hierarchical level of organizations.

4. **"height above ground"** - This is not relevant to the context as it refers to physical height.

5. **"indicator that establishes the horizontal when a bubble is centered in a tube of liquid"** - This refers to a tool used for measuring or ensuring something is level, not relevant to the context.

6. **"a flat surface at right angles to a plumb line"** - Again, this refers to a physical characteristic and is not relevant.

7. **"an abstract place usually conceived as having depth"** - While abstract, this doesn't directly fit the context of describing organizations.

8. **"a structure consisting of a room or set of rooms at a single position along a vertical scale"** - This refers to a physical structure or floor, not relevant to the context.

Given the context, the most appropriate sense is related to the categorization or ranking of organizations based on their operational scope. Both senses 2 and 3 could potentially fit this interpretation. However, sense 3 is more about a stage or point in a continuum or series, which aligns well with describing organizations as operating at a "national level," indicating their scope or scale of operation.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "level" in this context is **3**.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a European conference on social exclusion and a study involving senior officials from "peak organisations" in fifteen European countries, representing national-level entities. The context suggests that "organisations" refers to structured groups or bodies that have a specific role or function.

2. **Understanding the Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. organisation%1:14:01::**: Refers to the persons or committees that administer something. Examples include administration and governing bodies.
   - **2. organisation%1:14:00::**: Defines a group of people working together.
   - **3. organisation%1:09:00::**: Pertains to an organized structure for arranging or classifying.
   - **4. organisation%1:07:00::**: Relates to an ordered manner or methodical organization.
   - **5. organisation%1:04:00::**: Concerns the act of organizing a business or activity.
   - **6. organisation%1:04:01::**: Involves the activity or result of distributing or disposing persons or things properly.
   - **7. organisation%1:04:02::**: Refers to the act of forming or establishing something.

3. **Analyzing the Context and Candidate Senses**:
   - The term "organisations" is used in the context of "peak organisations" representing national-level entities in European countries. This implies structured bodies or groups.
   - The phrase "senior officials of the social partners as representatives of national level peak organisations" suggests that these organisations are entities that have representatives, indicating they are bodies or groups with a structured role.

4. **Matching the Context to the Best Sense**:
   - Sense 1 refers to administrative bodies, which could fit but is more about the administration aspect.
   - Sense 2, "a group of people who work together," is broad and could apply as it refers to any collective working together, which includes the concept of organisations as entities with representatives.
   - The other senses (3, 4, 5, 6, 7) either refer to more abstract concepts of organization or to the act of organizing, which doesn't directly fit the usage of "organisations" as specific entities.

5. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Given the context, "organisations" is best described as groups of people working together in a structured manner, which aligns with **Sense 2: organisation%1:14:00::**. This sense directly refers to a "group of people who work together," which fits the context of national-level peak organisations having representatives.

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

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.

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

The context is about a European conference on social exclusion and a comparative study involving senior officials from national level peak organisations in fifteen European countries. The focus is on nations and their organizations.

1. The first sense defines "country" as "a politically organized body of people under a single government." The synonyms include "state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic." The example given is "the state has elected a new president; African nations." This sense aligns with the context as it refers to nations.

2. The second sense refers to "the territory occupied by a nation" with synonyms "state, land." The examples provided are "he returned to the land of his birth; he visited several European countries." This sense is also relevant as it talks about visiting or referring to the territory of nations.

3. The third sense is about "the people who live in a nation or country" with synonyms "nation, land." An example is "a statement that sums up the nation's mood; the news was announced to the nation." While this could potentially fit, the context doesn't directly refer to the people but rather to the entities or territories they represent.

4. The fourth sense defines "country" as "an area outside of cities and towns" or "rural area." The example is "his poetry celebrated the slower pace of life in the country." This sense doesn't fit the context as the discussion is not about rural areas versus urban areas.

5. The fifth sense refers to "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary" or "area." The example given is "it was a mountainous area; Bible country." This sense is too broad and doesn't directly relate to the context of nations or political entities.

Given the context, both the first and second senses seem plausible because they both relate to the concept of a nation or state. However, the context specifically mentions "fifteen European countries" in the context of national level peak organisations, which directly relates to the concept of nations or states as political entities or territories.

The phrase "national level peak organisations in fifteen European countries" suggests that "countries" refers to the territories or the political entities themselves. The second sense ("the territory occupied by a nation") is more directly related to this usage, as it is about the territories or nations being referred to.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "countries" in this context is the second sense.

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

The context is discussing a European conference on social exclusion and a comparative study on direct participation in work environments, highlighting specific industrial sectors such as the metal industry and the banking sector. The sentence where "important" is used is: "As important industrial sectors, the metal industry and the banking sector were also included."

Now, let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense defines "important" as "of great significance or value." The synonyms provided are "of import," and examples include "important people; the important questions of the day." This sense seems plausible because the metal and banking sectors could be considered significant or valuable.

2. The second sense is defined as "important in effect or meaning" with the synonym "significant." Examples given are "a significant change in tax laws; a significant change in the Constitution." This sense is also plausible as it aligns with the idea of certain sectors being significant in the context of the study or conference.

3. The third sense is "of extreme importance; vital to the resolution of a crisis" with the synonym "crucial." Examples include "a crucial moment in his career; a crucial election." While the metal and banking sectors could be crucial in certain contexts, the text does not directly imply a crisis or a moment of extreme importance being resolved.

4. The fourth sense is defined as "having authority or ascendancy or influence" with the synonym "authoritative." Examples include "an important official; the captain's authoritative manner." This sense doesn't directly apply to "industrial sectors" as it is more related to people or their manner.

5. The fifth sense is "having or suggesting a consciousness of high position" with examples like "recited the decree with an important air; took long important strides in the direction of his office." This sense is more related to the demeanor or attitude of individuals rather than sectors or entities.

Given the context, the use of "important" to describe "industrial sectors" suggests that these sectors are significant or of great value to the study or discussion. Both the first and second senses seem applicable, but the second sense ("significant") is more directly related to the context of highlighting specific sectors within a study or discussion.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "important" in this context is the second sense, which corresponds to sense_index = 2.

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

The context is about a European conference on social exclusion and a study assessing direct participation in work, involving senior officials from national level peak organisations in fifteen European countries, with a focus on sectors like the metal industry and the banking sector.

1. The first sense is "of or relating to or resulting from industry" with examples like "industrial output". This sense is relevant because it directly relates to the context of industries and sectors.

2. The second sense is "having highly developed industries" with examples like "the industrial revolution; an industrial nation". While this could relate to the context, it more describes a state of a country or region rather than directly relating to specific sectors or industries.

3. The third sense is "employed in industry" with examples like "the industrial classes; industrial work". This sense refers more to the people working in industries rather than the industries themselves.

4. The fourth sense is "suitable to stand up to hard wear" with examples like "industrial carpeting". This sense is more about the quality or durability of products, not directly related to the context of industries or sectors.

Given the context, the word "industrial" is used to describe specific sectors (the metal industry and the banking sector), indicating that it is related to or resulting from industry. The banking sector is not typically considered an industrial sector in the traditional sense (though it can be part of the broader service or financial sector), but in this context, "industrial sectors" is used to refer to significant or major sectors, including both manufacturing (like metal industry) and services (like banking).

The most relevant sense here is the first one: "of or relating to or resulting from industry". This is because "industrial sectors" refers to sectors that are related to industry, and the metal industry is a clear example of this. The inclusion of the banking sector alongside the metal industry suggests a broad interpretation of "industrial sectors" that might not strictly adhere to traditional manufacturing or industrial activities.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "industrial" in this context is the first one.

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

The context discusses various industrial sectors, specifically mentioning "the metal industry and the banking sector." This indicates that "metal" is being used to refer to a particular industry or sector related to the processing or manufacturing of metals.

The two candidate senses provided are:
1. A chemical element that is usually a shiny solid, conducts heat or electricity, and can be formed into sheets, etc.
2. A mixture containing two or more metallic elements or metallic and nonmetallic elements.

Given the context, the term "metal industry" is more likely to refer to an industry involved in the processing or manufacturing of metals or alloys, rather than a specific chemical element or a mixture (alloy).

Both senses relate to the concept of metals, but the first sense is more general and directly refers to the chemical elements that are typically associated with the term "metal." The second sense refers to alloys, which are also relevant to the metal industry.

However, the term "metal industry" is broad and encompasses activities related to both metals (in the sense of metallic elements) and alloys. The context does not specifically narrow down to alloys but refers to the industry as a whole.

Therefore, the most appropriate sense is the one that is more directly related to the general understanding of "metal" in an industrial context. The first sense (sense_key=metal%1:27:00::) refers to "any of several chemical elements that are usually shiny solids that conduct heat or electricity and can be formed into sheets etc.," which is a fundamental understanding of what metals are and is directly related to the metal industry.

Thus, the best indexed sense for "metal" in this context is the first one.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a European conference on social exclusion and a study related to the EPOC project, focusing on direct participation in work and its impact on humanizing work while increasing profitability. It mentions senior officials from national level peak organisations in fifteen European countries and specifically highlights the metal industry and the banking sector as important industrial sectors.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The target word is "industry," and it appears in the phrase "the metal industry."

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: Refers to "the people or companies engaged in a particular kind of commercial enterprise." The example given is "each industry has its own trade publications." This sense seems plausible because it refers to a group or sector within a commercial or economic context.
   - **Sense 2**: Defines "industry" as "the organized action of making of goods and services for sale," with "manufacture" as a synonym. An example is "American industry is making increased use of computers to control production." This sense directly relates to the production of goods and services.
   - **Sense 3**: Describes "industry" as "persevering determination to perform a task," with synonyms like "diligence" and "industriousness." The examples provided illustrate a personal trait or virtue.

4. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The context mentions "the metal industry and the banking sector" as significant sectors. Here, "industry" is used alongside "banking sector," suggesting it refers to a specific sector or field of economic activity.
   - The term is used to denote a particular area of commercial or economic activity, not directly to the act of manufacturing or production, although that could be a part of it. The banking sector is not typically considered an "industry" in the manufacturing sense but is a sector of the economy.
   - The usage is more aligned with referring to a category or group within the economy rather than the act of production or a personal trait.

5. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - **Sense 1** fits well because it refers to a particular kind of commercial enterprise or sector, which aligns with how "industry" is used in the context (e.g., "the metal industry").
   - **Sense 2** is also a strong candidate because it relates to the production of goods and services, and "industry" can be understood in this context, especially considering "metal industry" involves manufacturing.
   - **Sense 3** is not relevant to the context as it refers to a personal trait or virtue, not an economic sector or activity.

Given the context and the examples, **Sense 1** ("the people or companies engaged in a particular kind of commercial enterprise") is the most appropriate because it accurately describes the usage of "industry" in referring to sectors like the "metal industry" and aligns with the broader economic context.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "industry" in the given context is **1**.

It specifically mentions that "the metal industry and the banking sector were also included" as important industrial sectors.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The target word is "banking," and it appears in the phrase "the banking sector."

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "engaging in the business of keeping money for savings and checking accounts or for exchange or for issuing loans and credit etc." This definition relates to the activities or operations typically associated with banks.
   - **Sense 2**: "transacting business with a bank; depositing or withdrawing funds or requesting a loan etc." This definition focuses on the actions individuals or entities take when interacting with a bank.

4. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The context refers to "the banking sector," which implies an industry or a field of business rather than the act of transacting with a bank.
   - The banking sector is mentioned alongside "the metal industry," suggesting that both are being considered as significant industrial or economic sectors.

5. **Making a Decision**:
   - Given that "banking" is used to refer to a sector or industry, the most relevant sense is related to the business or operations characteristic of that sector.
   - **Sense 1** ("engaging in the business of keeping money for savings and checking accounts or for exchange or for issuing loans and credit etc.") aligns with this interpretation because it describes the activities that define the banking industry or sector.

6. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The first sense (banking%1:04:01::) corresponds to the definition that matches the context provided.
   - Therefore, the best indexed sense for "banking" in the given context is **1**.

The final answer is: {"sense_index": 1}

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

The sentence is: "As important industrial sectors, the metal industry and the banking sector were also included."

Here, "included" refers to the act of adding or considering the metal industry and the banking sector as part of a group or category being discussed or analyzed, which in this context is part of the study based on personal interviews with senior officials of the social partners.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense suggests that "include" means to have something as a part or be made up out of something. The example given is, "The list includes the names of many famous writers." This sense is plausible because the text does imply that the metal industry and banking sector are part of the study or the sectors being considered.

2. The second sense implies considering something as part of something else. The example is, "I include you in the list of culprits." This sense involves a more subjective judgment or classification.

3. The third sense is about adding something as part of something else or putting it in a group or category. The example given is, "We must include this chemical element in the group." This sense directly relates to the action of adding or incorporating something into a category or group.

4. The fourth sense involves allowing participation or granting a right to be part of something. The examples provided involve admitting someone to a profession or a legal bar.

Given the context, the metal industry and the banking sector are being added or considered as part of the sectors being studied or analyzed. The most relevant action here is that of adding or incorporating these sectors into the study or the group being considered.

The best fit for this context is the third sense, which involves adding something as part of something else or putting it in a group or category. The action described in the sentence aligns with this definition, as the metal industry and the banking sector are being added to or considered as part of the important industrial sectors being studied.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "included" in the given context is 3.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a European conference on social exclusion organized by the Foundation along with other entities. It mentions that key speakers at the conference included various high-profile individuals from different European organizations.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The target word is "speakers," which is the plural form of "speaker." We need to understand the context in which it is used to disambiguate its sense.

4. **Analyzing Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: someone who expresses in language; someone who talks (especially someone who delivers a public speech or someone especially garrulous). The context matches this definition as "speakers" are individuals who delivered speeches or presentations.
   - **Sense 2**: electro-acoustic transducer that converts electrical signals into sounds. This definition does not fit the context as there's no mention of audio equipment.
   - **Sense 3**: the presiding officer of a deliberative assembly. While some of the individuals listed have significant roles, the context does not specifically indicate that "speakers" refers to their role as presiding officers.

5. **Making the Choice**: Based on the context and the definitions provided, "speakers" refers to individuals who delivered speeches or presentations at the conference. This aligns with **Sense 1**, which is about someone who talks, especially someone who delivers a public speech.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The context revolves around a European conference on "social exclusion" organized by The Foundation along with other entities like the European Commission and the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs. The discussion involves public welfare services, direct participation in workplaces, and the involvement of "social partners" in European countries.

2. **Understanding the Target**: The target word is "social" as used in "social exclusion conference." The phrase "social exclusion" is key to understanding the sense of "social" here.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. relating to human society and its members**: This sense is relevant as "social exclusion" pertains to the exclusion of certain groups from society or societal benefits.
   - **2. living together or enjoying life in communities or organized groups**: While related, this sense is more about the nature of human or animal behavior in groups, which isn't directly the focus in "social exclusion."
   - **3. relating to or belonging to or characteristic of high society**: This sense doesn't fit well as "social exclusion" isn't about high society but rather about exclusion from societal participation or benefits.
   - **4. composed of sociable people or formed for the purpose of sociability**: This doesn't directly relate to the concept of "social exclusion" as used in the context.
   - **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 relevant here.
   - **6. marked by friendly companionship with others**: This sense is also not directly relevant as "social exclusion" refers to a state of being excluded, not the quality of companionship.

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**: The term "social exclusion" is closely related to the concept of societal inclusion or exclusion, which aligns with the first sense: "relating to human society and its members." The conference and the context provided are discussing issues related to human society and its members, specifically focusing on exclusion from societal benefits or participation.

5. **Conclusion**: The most appropriate sense for "social" in "social exclusion" is the first one, as it directly relates to human society and its members.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The context revolves around a European conference on "social exclusion" organized by the Foundation along with other entities like the European Commission and the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs. The topic is related to public welfare services and addressing a major challenge.

2. **Understanding the Term "Exclusion"**: In this context, "social exclusion" refers to the state or condition of being excluded from social interactions, opportunities, or societal benefits. It is a concept often used in social and economic discussions to describe the marginalization or disadvantage of certain groups.

   - **1. sense_key=exclusion%1:26:00:: | definition=the state of being excluded**: This definition directly corresponds to the concept of being in a state where one is excluded, which aligns with the understanding of "social exclusion" as a condition or state affecting certain groups or individuals.

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 context is about a meeting organized by the Foundation along with other entities like the European Commission, the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs, and the Galician regional government. The meeting is specifically on "social exclusion: a major challenge for public welfare services." It mentions key speakers and their affiliations, indicating a formal gathering.

2. **Understanding the Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "a prearranged meeting for consultation or exchange of information or discussion (especially one with a formal agenda)". This definition aligns with the context of a meeting organized by significant entities on a specific topic with key speakers.
   - **Sense 2**: "an association of sports teams that organizes matches for its members". The context does not relate to sports teams or organizing matches, so this sense is unlikely.
   - **Sense 3**: "a discussion among participants who have an agreed (serious) topic". While this is somewhat relevant as it involves discussion on a topic, it is less specific about the formal nature of the meeting compared to Sense 1.

3. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context clearly indicates a formal, prearranged meeting with a specific agenda ("social exclusion: a major challenge for public welfare services"), which matches **Sense 1**.
   - The presence of key speakers from various official bodies and the organization of the event by significant entities further supports the choice of **Sense 1**.
   - **Sense 2** is unrelated to the context.
   - **Sense 3**, while related to a discussion on a topic, does not capture the formal and prearranged nature of the meeting as accurately as **Sense 1** does.

4. **Indexed Sense Selection**: The candidate senses are indexed starting from 1. **Sense 1** corresponds to the first definition provided.
