Re: [all] Call for consensus on disambiguation - feedback integrated [ACTION-181]

Hi, Pablo,
correct. The feedback I got was that this distinction is very important, 
but I can't think of an example with the scenario you mention. Perhaps 
for spans where one is contained within the other, such as assigning a 
lexical meaning to a word, while the whole phrase is an entity, for 
example 'agriculture' in 'Ministry of agriculture'.

I think it boils down to this: could this property be reliably inferred 
from the target itself? For instance, if someone points to 
http://www.w3.org/2006/03/wn/wn20/instances/worsense-capital-noun-3 - 
can we expect that is definitely a case of lexical disambiguation?
