semantikasida

Semantikasida is a term used in discussions of semantics and knowledge representation to describe a compact semantic unit that encodes a concept’s meaning, its linguistic realizations, and its relationships to other concepts. The word combines semantika (semantics) with sida (page or unit in several languages), and it is employed in various scholarly and educational contexts to model meaning in dictionaries, ontologies, and AI systems.

A semantikasida typically includes fields such as a lemma, one or more senses, part of speech, definitions, semantic relations (synonyms, antonyms, hypernyms), usage notes, and example contexts. It may also contain cross-references to related semantikasidas, multilingual translations, and links within a knowledge graph or lexicon. The unit is designed to be reusable across datasets and to support cross-lingual and cross-domain interoperability.

Applications and usage: In lexicography, computational linguistics, and the semantic web, semantikasidas serve as building blocks for annotating corpora, constructing multilingual dictionaries, and training language models. They help maintain consistent representation of meaning across systems and enable reasoning about lexical relations at scale.

Origins and standardization: The term is not universally standardized and appears primarily in contemporary discussions of data-model design and online lexicography. Different projects may adopt varying schemas, field sets, and naming conventions for semantikasidas, depending on their domain (linguistics, artificial intelligence, or digital humanities).
