A version in is available in LATVIAN on this place: http://szf.lu.lv/sites/szf/module_data/introduction/Nodalas/Inform_Biblio/Semantika_ZO.ppt / Outlines a view of semantics and its implications for Knowledge Organization. All knowledge organizing systems (KOS) consist of concepts, their definitions, selection, semantic relations/meaning relations and other kinds of information, why KOS should be understood as semantic tools.

Such a theoretical understanding of semantics is outlined in this presentation.
