semantic gap The difference between the complex operations performed by {high-level language} constructs and the simple ones provided by computer {instruction sets}. It was in an attempt to try to close this gap that computer architects designed increasingly {complex instruction set computers}. (1994-10-10) | |
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
semantic network A {graph} consisting of {nodes} that represent physical or conceptual objects and arcs that describe the relationship between the nodes, resulting in something like a data flow diagram. Semantic nets are an effective way to represent data as they incorporate the inheritance mechanism that prevents duplication of data. That is, the meaning of a concept comes from its relationship to other concepts and the information is stored by interconnecting nodes with labelled arcs. (1999-01-07) | |
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
semantics to {syntax} which describes how symbols may be combined independent of their meaning. The semantics of a programming language is a function from programs to answers. A program is a {closed term} and, in practical languages, an answer is a member of the syntactic category of values. The two main kinds are {denotational semantics} and {operational semantics}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]: | |
Simeon, The tribe of was "divided and scattered" according to the prediction in Gen. 49:5-7. They gradually dwindled in number, and sank into a position of insignificance among the other tribes. They decreased in the wilderness by about two-thirds (comp. Num. 1:23; 26:14). Moses pronounces no blessing on this tribe. It is passed by in silence (Deut. 33). This tribe received as their portion a part of the territory already allotted to Judah (Josh. 19:1-9). It lay in the south-west of the land, with Judah on the east and Dan on the north; but whether it was a compact territory or not cannot be determined. The subsequent notices of this tribe are but few (1 Chr. 4:24-43). Like Reuben on the east of Jordan, this tribe had little influence on the history of Israel. | |
