Concerning word meaning
Semantic refers to the aspect of language concerned with meaning.
It is sometimes contrasted with syntactic (concerned with grammar and patterns of sentence formation), but the two are in fact closely related and often inseparable.
Today, semantic is often used in the term semantic web, which refers to attempts to make web pages more easily readable and exploitable by computers through adding additional tagging in formats that computers can understand.
Semantic content is another way of saying meaning, and is used to separate the meaning component of something from other features it may have.
