SemEval-2007 Task 08: Metonymy Resolution at SemEval-2007

We provide an overview of the metonymy resolution shared task organised within SemEval-2007. We describe the problem, the data provided to participants, and the evaluation measures we used to assess performance. We also give an overview of the systems that have taken part in the task, and discuss possible directions for future work.
