I was just trying to understand this about a month ago and it is interesting how little there is in terms of semantic information vs Shannon.

An Outline of a Theory of Semantic Information by Carnap was the early attempt.

Fred Dretske wrote Knowledge and the Flow of Information in 1981.

Luciano Floridi has a few recent books.

I couldn't find much else. I don't think AIC really solves the problem of meaning either.

I think the Dretske book was the first time I really understood where Shannon was coming from but I gave up when it got to his actual semantic ideas.

I think I ran across a recent paper that motivated trying to back track what work had been done in this area but I don't recall the name of the paper.

I've have shelved all this for now as over my head.
