   Syn: To appear; look.

   Usage:
         Seem, Appear. To appear
         has reference to a thing's
          being presented to our view; as, the sun appears; to
          seem is connected with the idea of semblance, and
          usually implies an inference of our mind as to the
          probability of a thing's being so; as, a storm seems
          to be coming. "The story appears to be true," means
          that the facts, as presented, go to show its truth;
          "the story seems to be true," means that it has the
          semblance of being so, and we infer that it is true.
          "His first and principal care being to appear unto his
          people such as he would have them be, and to be such
          as he appeared." --Sir P. Sidney.
          [1913 Webster]

                Ham. Ay, madam, it is common.
                Queen. If it be,
                Why seems it so particular with thee?
                Ham. Seems, madam! Nay, it is; I know not
                "seems."                          --Shak.
          [1913 Webster]

• Seam Framework - JBoss Seam: Seam is a powerful open source development platform for building rich Internet applications in Java. Seam integrates technologies such as Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX), JavaServer Faces (JSF), Java Persistence (JPA), Enterprise Java Beans (EJB 3.0) and Business Process Management (BPM) into a unified full-stack solution, complete with sophisticated tooling. Seam has been designed from the ground up to eliminate complexity at both architecture and API levels. It enables developers to assemble complex web applications with simple annotated plain Java classes, a rich set of UI components, and very little XML.
