  The semantics used for particular terms in an academic field organically
evolve over time. Tracking this evolution through inspection of published
literature has either been from the perspective of Linguistic scholars or has
concentrated the focus of term evolution within a single domain of study. In
this paper, we performed a case study to identify semantic evolution across
different domains and identify examples of inter-domain semantic shifts. We
initially used keywords as the basis of our search and executed an iterative
process of following citations to find the initial mention of the concepts in
the field. We found that a select set of keywords like ``semaphore'',
``polymorphism'', and ``ontology'' were mentioned within Computer Science
literature and tracked the seminal study that borrowed those terms from
original fields by citations. We marked these events as semantic evolution
points. Through this manual investigation method, we can identify term
evolution across different academic fields. This study reports our initial
findings that will seed future automated and computational methods of
incorporating concepts from additional academic fields.
