Semantics

Semantics of data can be visualized using Semantic Result Formats. This presents a conduit to represent any spatial-temporal events or data content in a semantically represented framework. The hint is that semantics of any data don't need to be bound to a given scale. The nature of semantics is scale-free. This simply means that we can reuse the functionality of Semantic Result Formats for a wide range of applications.

Software Engineering and Semantics

To relate semantics with software engineering, we can start from Dana Scott's work on mathematical semantics. He wrote a famous short book[1], that outlined the nature of computation into a scale-free mathematical object called lattice. He also axiomatically claimed that all computable structures of any scale must be representable using lattices, which are time-like structures.
