[new term] semantics

initial description:

We are working on semantic expressiveness in #97 (closed) and !40 (merged) and use the term "meaning" in the definition there. Thus, we should define that term as well.

proposed changes:

label : Semantics
related synonym: Meaning
definition: 
  Knowledge which pertains to an entity and relates it to a glyph, string 
  or other representational entity in order to refer to it.
comment: >
  Unambiguous semantics are achieved "in use" or through established context. 
  This can be the use of a word within a sentence where that word is given 
  context by the grammar and other words in that sentence. That may also be 
  by using formalising relations in "semantic artefacts" such as ontologies, 
  which use glyphs or string to label classes and establish relations between 
  one another.

subclassOf: Knowledge

label: semantic artefact
definition: Structured data which encodes semantic relations between entities.
comment: 
  The encoded relations might be between entities which are represented by words or glyps.
subclassOf: structured data

label: semantic technology
definition: Technology which enables the encoding and exchange of semantic relations.
subclassOf: technology

label: semantic expressiveness
definitions: 
  A quality which inheres in an semantic artefact by virtue of its ability to encode the meaning 
  of data in a form that is accessible to humans and/or machines and allows inference.

further to dos:

• add as subclass to "semantic artefact":
  • dictionary
  • graph
  • ontology
  • taxonomical data
  • triple
  • vocabulary (also change superclass in definition)

old proposal
