We perform a combined next to leading order analysis of both inclusive and
semi-inclusive polarized deep inelastic scattering data, assessing the impa
ct of new data on the extraction of the sea quark and gluon spin dependent
densities. In particular, we find that semi-inclusive data show a clear pre
ference for a positive Delta(u) over bar distribution, although are almost
insensitive to different alternatives to Delta(d) over bar.
