sematic

Sematic is not widely recognized as a formal term in most academic disciplines. It is most often a misspelling of semantic, but it may also appear as a proper noun in fiction, branding, or niche projects. In those cases, its meaning is determined by context rather than by a standardized definition.

As a coined term, sematic could be used to describe efforts related to meaning in information systems—such as representing, preserving, and exchanging meaning across data, documents, and software. In this sense, sematic would overlap with semantics, semantic technologies, and the semantic web, which focus on meaning-driven data interoperability, ontologies, and knowledge graphs.

Because sematic is not standard, authoritative definitions are scarce. When encountered, readers should look for explicit context or a definition within the text or accompanying materials.
