The purpose of Senseval (http://www.senseval.org) is to evaluate semantic analysis systems.
SemEval-2010 will be the 5th workshop on semantic evaluation.

The first three workshops, Senseval-1 through Senseval-3, were focused on word sense disambiguation, each time growing in the number of languages offered in the tasks and in the number of participating teams. In the 4th workshop, SemEval-2007, the nature of the tasks evolved to include semantic analysis tasks outside of word sense disambiguation.
