  Re: orion-list Re: Dumb questions department.
You say you are : "very sensitive to sloppy, semantically loaded translations by people who clearly had an insufficient knowledge of the target language...
But I also think any GOOD translation ***HAS*** to be "semantically loaded" - - because that is how the words were originally heard, and perhaps this is ESPECIALLY so with text from the DSS matrix.
Please forgive my facetiousness but I think it poses an important challenge to all translators: To understand the roots of the words being used, but to also "discover" the lost nuances of the meanings that were a VITAL aspect of the words the ancient listener was hearing, and which may supersede the old meanings completely.

  Pathological science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Langmuir used the term to describe ideas that would simply not "go away", long after they were given up on as wrong by the majority of scientists in the field.
The term is semantically loaded, and has often been taken as a personal insult implying utter foolishness in the target.
It involves self-deception amongst a larger number of participants and as such, is fundamentally different from conscious scientific fraud.

 [No title]
Voluntary control, consciousness and semantics are to be considered in a solid block of relations, regarding the type of structures that are involved in some complex tasks, to launch good metaphors that inspire what we call semantical reduction.
The underlying mechanisms that must be in the core of these processes are biochemical changes in the rate of quantal liberation of vesicles of neurotransmitter at the synaptic clefts, as proposed by Eccles [8], a capacity that would be evolutionary tied to the new areas of the brain, and that occur in a non-causal domain.
To be semantically loaded means to recruit large areas of neocortex and to be computationally slow and sparse, but creative in terms of rearranging representations (in the sense 2 above defined).

 The (Non-Vacuous) Semantics of TE-Linkage in Japanese   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Although all semantic relations associated with TE-linkage can be inferred from the conjuncts alone, the contrary does not hold: not all semantic relations that can be implicated by two paratactic clauses are possible when the clauses are linked by TE.
In the second category, exemplified by (2b), the verb preceding TE is semantically the main predicate of the clause, and the verb or adjective that follows TE is a so-called auxiliary.
It might appear, therefore, that the semantic relations of cause and temporal sequence are not part of the conventional meaning of TE-linkage at all, but are derived by means of pragmatic principles.

This semantics reconstruction process is a central part of the “Smart Translator” project that converts a PDF-based newspaper archive into a “smart” and efficient XML database.
Text objects from different groups are supposed to be semantically different at the lowest level, though it obviously doesn’t mean that all text objects in one group are semantically identical – for example, different articles may use exactly the same style for their body text.
The conversion of a semantically loaded tree into an XML document could be regarded as a more or less routine procedure.

 SGML Applications - Topic Navigation Maps
A semantic assignment can be used to instantiate as many element types as desired in an actual SGML document type defintion (DTD), allowing for a finer distinction; each semantic assignment element type can have a different set of anchors described in the anchrole attribute.
Making the semantic assignment one of its own anchors permits users to traverse from some other link (if any) to the semantic assignment, and thence to either (or part of, or all) of the semantic assignment's other anchors.
A case where having no semantic title is useful is when a group of information objects has been gathered under the structure of a topic without explicitly giving the topic a title.

 Balancing Generality and Specificity in Document Management Systems   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
These specialized applications exist because the data they operate on are not general-purpose, free-form documents: they have restrictions on them by virtue of the semantics of the applications in which they are used.
We have established a number of conventions by which Placeless-aware applications can have portions of their behavior and interfaces dynamically loaded from the documents they are operating on.
As discussed, one of the problems with representing arbitrary entities as documents--and making them usable via general purpose tools--is that these entities may lose some of the semantics which are the basis of their utility.

Sadly the term is semantically loaded, and has often been taken as a personal insult implying some sort of mental disorder in the speaker.
Most of the problem appears to be the use of the word "pathological", which to many people implies mental illness.

 LINGUIST List 7.1243: unsubscribe TO or FROM
This semantic attachment could also be reflected in the form of a (morphological) bracketing paradox: (d) [[un][subscribe]][FROM] versus (e) [un][[subscribe][TO]] The bracketing in (d) would seem to obliterate the semantics of *subscribe*.
In (e) the semantics o f *subscribe* are crucial to choice of the preposition.
The engagemen t of a semantically less "loaded" preposition (FOR) here could very well signal a "neutralized" interpretation for speakers who prefer it.

 external parsed entites (was: A unique ID question ?)
The trick is for people to realize that the use of parsed external entities should be avoided unless their use is purely for storage convenience.
There should never be a semantic load on the fact that some data is stored in a particular entity.
Regrettably, most of the times when parsed external entities have been used, they have been used for impure, semantically loaded purposes (such as the semantic of re-usability).

 BREAKING THE SOUND BARRIER: GUIDELINES FOR AUDITORY DISPLAY DESIGN   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Another related difficulty was that the use of realistic sounds meant that when a process had failed to operate it would become silent, rather than alerting, and operators would not be alerted to the system malfunction.
Web pages load, and hence read, from top to bottom, with content roughly going from general (titles, headers) to specific (body text, links) along that descent.
Direction (uploading or downloading) is displayed by the perception of sound sources moving away from or towards the desktop along a vertical axis.

Over the course of 1998, a large number of changes were made with exactly this in mind; previously, changes had been made but in a less systematic manner and with more concern for not needing to update the existing content.

 Archive Crawler Wiki: ArcRevisionProposalStartConversation
Because a standard structure for binding publisher metadata to an identifier is not in common use, there is understandable resistance to the idea of giving up these ad hoc metadata semantics in exchange for protection from a potential persistence threat that might manifest itself in a decade or so.
Because of the tight binding between an ARK and its metadata, it is always easy to create bibliographies and object-level records that place semantically opaque ARKs right next to metadata that is not only fully expressive and authoritative, but that can also be refreshed automatically at any time (using the ARK followed by a \uffff?\uffff).
Moreover,this proximity to fully expressive metadata shields the ARK scheme from internationalization pressures that are forcing the other identifier schemes (URI [4] and Handle [16]) to deal with the serious complications surrounding inclusion of language and character set indicators inside identifiers.

 ISO/IEC 13250
A semantic assignment is a specialized HyTime hyperlink that connects the information objects sharing a common semantic.
An index entry is a set of locations sharing the semantics associated with the term that is displayed in the index.
To prepare semantic assignment elements that can later play a role in a topic relationship, it is a good practice to assign ids to all semantic assignment definitions, although this is not an absolute requirement of this standard, since there will be cases where setting up ids will be irrelevant.

The specific form of language and verbiage (which I'd refer to as semantics) can be used to invoke these frames.
Robert Heinlein was greatly influenced by the early semanticians, and wrote many stories about the way semantics can be employed to set the tone of political discourse way back in the 40's and 50's, and indeed throughout his long career.

 Digital Preservation: Architecture and Technology for Trusted Digital Repositories
Since, to retain viability, a preservation system needs the freedom to migrate or alter the mix of individual components within a conceptual object to which it has committed, the persistence of the combined identifier may or may not be as strong as that of the foundation (opaque) name.
The ARK philosophy encourages semantically opaque names, the idea being that if long-term persistence is desired, the name should not reflect transient realities such as the current collection name, or contemporary vocabulary for describing the object type.
Depending on the needs of the institution, semantically loaded names can provide practical benefits to the repository user and manager and the same tool can be used to assign specific, requested names, such as

Proposition 209, overwhelmingly passed by the California white majority electorate and overwhelming rejected by the state's fl and Latino voters (three out of four of whom voted against the initiative), is a draconian solution.
It equates affirmative action with simple and semantically loaded words such as "quotas" and "preferences." It disregards the potential of linking affirmative action with the identification of merit.
Proposition 209, as a public policy, may be a case of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

 How to put XML on the Web
First is the fact that Web browsers, as a basic design goal, must cope with the largely-undesigned interactions between all the various HTML constructs, and with a perceived obligation to accept and display any and all soi-disant HTML, no matter how bad.
The HTML display semantics aren't going to go away, and they are plenty difficult enough without asking for foreign-tag wrangling to go on in parallel.
