| I moved in the database world at a time when a lot of people were discussing the question "what is a conceptual schema?", and I decided then that if people couldn't agree what the term meant, I wasn't going to use it. I avoid the term "semantics" for exactly the same reason. (Perhaps it even means the same thing. Assuming that meaning is meaningful.)
