adj. [US Geological Survey] A procedure that has yet to be completely
automated; it still requires a smidge of clueful human interaction.
Semi-automated programs usually come with written-out operator instructions
that are worth their weight in gold without them, very nasty things can
happen. At USGS semi-automated programs are often referred to as
semi-automated weapons.
