	Words in English :: Meaning
		In general, Semantics (from the Greek semantikos, or "significant meaning," derived from "sema," sign) always refers to some kind of meaning (of something that is written) and is thus usually opposed to syntax, which refers to the formal way in which something is written.
		It is a subfield of linguistics that is traditionally defined as the study of meaning.
		Semantic progression describes the evolution of word usage - usually to the point that the modern meaning is radically different from the original usage.

	Semantics - Psychology Wiki
		Semantics is often opposed to syntax, in which case the former pertains to what something means while the latter pertains to the formal structure/patterns in which something is expressed (for example written or spoken).
		Semantics is distinguished from ontology (study of existence) in being about the use of a word more than the nature of the entity referenced by the word.
		Semantics is a subfield of linguistics that is traditionally defined as the study of meaning of (parts of) words, phrases, sentences, and texts.

	Consortiuminfo.org Consortium Standards Bulletin- June 2005
		A semantic tree just doesn't scale, because each person would have their own view of where the root would have to be, and which way the sap should flow in each branch.
		With the standardization and deployment of Semantic Web standards in various commercial products and services, a shift occurred from the perspective of many that this work was research to a recognition that this is a practical technology deployed in mass-market tools that enables more flexible access to structured data on the Web.
		Search techniques for the Semantic Web are going to be very different: it may be that the value add will be made in different ways by systems roaming around and looking for patterns, or by performing some specific types of inference, or by indexing Semantic Web data in new interesting ways.

	Semantics ~ Stephen's Web ~ by Stephen Downes
		Semantics is contrasted with two other aspects of meaningful expression, namely, syntax, the construction of complex signs from simpler signs, and pragmatics, the practical use of signs by agents or communities of interpretation in particular circumstances and contexts.
		In linguistics, semantics is the subfield that is devoted to the study of meaning, as borne on the syntactic levels of words, phrases, sentences, and sometimes larger units of discourse, generically referred to as texts.
		In psychology, semantic memory is memory for meaning, in other words, the aspect of memory that preserves only the gist, the general significance, of remembered experience, while episodic memory is memory for the ephemeral details, the individual features, or the unique particulars of experience.

		Semantic, syntactic, graphophonic cues are present while reading silently and when these young readers are reading aloud.
		Semantic or meaning cues apply to background knowledge and the context of the sentence or passage to identify words.
		It must be supplemented by knowledge of the meaning of the word (semantic cue) and how this is changed by its place in the sentence (syntactic cue) as well as practical knowledge and common sense (pragmatic cue) (Adams 1998).

	Semantic Meta Data for Enterprise Information Integration
		Semantic meta data is a key enabler of text analytics to derive business value from information.
		Based on the classification of the document, contextually relevant semantic meta data (entities such as Microsoft and BEA Systems in Figure 1) are extracted from the ontology to enhance the existing meta data.
		The use of semantic associations allows entities not explicitly mentioned in the text to be inferred or linked to a document by incorporating such associated entities in the tagging of the document.

		Semantic technologies differ from database schemas, data dictionaries, and controlled vocabularies in an important way: They have been designed with the connectivity in mind allowing different conceptual domains to work together as a network.
		Semantic interoperability frameworks of this type can provide a solid basis for better resolving differences in syntax, structure, and semantics â“ ushering in a future where organizations can agree to disagree, yet still share data and interoperate without having to change their current methods of operation.

	Developmental Amnesia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Differences between episodic and semantic memory are suggested to be due to extra frontal lobe involvement in memory of episodic events (Squire, 1987).
		To some extent this supports a view of episodic memory as embedded within semantics but it is not clear that semantic memory in developmental amnesics is near normal as some proponents of the theory claim.
		Although probably less damaged than would be expected by unitary declarative memory theory (Squire, 1987) it is premature to claim that such patients have normal semantic memory given that difficulties are likely to be cumulative and mediated by the complexity of their lives (which are unlikely to be normal given their episodic problems).

	1From Semantic Representations
		In our talk, we will be concerned specifically with the problems which arise when trying to translate a semantic representation into a SQL query, and more particularly with three problems which are of special importance for a natural language interface, namely the encoding of yes/no-questions, and the evaluation of the existential and the universal quantifier.
		The semantic representation we employ is in the form of restricted quantification (cf.
		Thus the existentially quantified semantic representation in example (15.b and c) is transformed into the SELECT subquery in example (15.d) which encodes a set expression corresponding to the lefthand side of (14.b).

	Anglo Saxon Riddles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		A culture-based semantic divergence is commonly attributed to Old English laf, a word which is variously glossed as "remnant", "leavings" or "what is left behind"; "survivor"; "widow"; "legacy"; "treasure"; "heirloom"; and "sword".
		The potential for confusion arising from such semantic divergence can be appreciated from the divergent translations and glosses that the word elicits from lexicographers and editors to explain, for example, that "remnants of weapons" are human "survivors", or that a "remnant of the hammers" is the Old English form of gladius.
		The riddle's shifting of reference from "iron ore" to "weapon" to "warrior" is a rather neat representation of semantic divergence (that is, several meanings deriving from a single root), and the riddle's ending is a similarly neat representation of homonymy (that is, an opponent signified, having the same appearance, but deriving from a different root).

		In the parallel progression, the sentence topics are semantically co-referential; in sequential progression, the sentence topics are always different, as the comment of the previous sentence becomes the topic of the next sentence; and in extended parallel progression, a parallel progression is temporarily interrupted by a sequential progression.
		Figure 4 shows a different distribution of sentence progression types in medium-rated essays: the rate of sequential progression is 54%, the rate of parallel progression is 24%, and the rate of extended parallel progression is 22%.
		As the rate of sequential progression is similar in differently rated essays, it implies that the use of sequential progression has no decisive impact on the overall quality of text.

	UCSD Graduate Program in Neurosciences: David P. Salmon
		Examples of our recent research include studies that demonstrated that the structure of semantic knowledge deteriorates in a systematic manner throughout the course of Alzheimer's disease, presumably because of the progressive destruction of the association cortices in which this knowledge is thought to be stored.
		Representations of the semantic networks of mildly and moderately demented patients with Alzheimer's disease were generated using multidimensional scaling techniques and it was found that as dementia severity increased, the patients focused less on abstract attributes in categorizing semantic concepts and exhibited an alteration in the relative strength of association between concepts.
		This disruption of semantic knowledge in patients with Alzheimer's disease was further demonstrated in a study that showed abnormalities in the N400 component of their evoked response, a component that has been linked to the processing of semantic relations between words in studies with normal individuals.

		The goals of Active Semantic Documents (ASD) are to reduce medical errors, improve physician efficiency and improve patient safety and satisfaction in medical practice.
		Semantic Web technology helps achieve these goals in an ontology driven process that involves multiple populated ontologies, automatic semantic annotation of documents, and rule processing.
		Examples of semantic rule include prevention of drug interaction (i.e., not allowing a patient to be prescribed two interacting drugs) or ensuring the procedure performed has a supporting diagnoses.

		Behavioral Symptoms A progressive deterioration in the patients’ ability to control or adjust his/her behavior appropriately in different social contexts is the hallmark of all of these behavior changes, and results in the embarrassing, inappropriate social situations that can be one of the most disturbing facets of FTD.
		Although specific symptoms may vary from patient to patient, the progression of Pick’s disease is an inevitable progressive deterioration.

		Giving semantic capabilities to the web is an even more complex task than building the original web, because it requires organization of information so that computers can use it on their own.
		The semantic web will make it easier to find existing information, but if it is left to the programmers, it will fall short of what these authors envision.

		To describe coherence in a text, topical structure analysis, which Lautamatti (1978) developed from the topic-comment theory of the Prague School of Linguistics, inspects the semantic relationships between sentence topics and the overall discourse topic by investigating the repetitions, shifts, and reoccurrences of topic.
		extended parallel progression, in which the first and the last topics of a piece of text are the same but are interrupted with some sequential progression (, , ).
		The relationship between the progression of sentence topics and the semantic hierarchy of a text is captured in Lautamatti's notion of topical depth.

	XML.com: Ontology Building: A Survey of Editing Tools
		The semantic structuring achieved by ontologies differs from the superficial composition and formatting of information (as data) afforded by relational and XML databases.
		Examples span several areas including: Semantic Web research; the creation of medical guidelines for managing patient health; mapping the genomes of plants and animals; searching for specific public information resources; collaborative engineering design; in-depth security analysis; and the automated exchange of electronic information among commercial trading partners.
		In the Semantic Web vision, unambiguous sense in a dialog among remote applications or agents can be achieved through shared reference to the ontologies available on the network, albeit an always changing combination of upper level and domain ontologies.
