The preposition proved to be used mostly in the meaning of adverbial modifier of manner "to act in accordance with something, on the basis of something". Within this meaning, a number of semantic shades were highlighted: to be defined according to some parameter; act on the basis of certain data, facts; act in accordance with a certain way of organizing the phenomenon; act on the basis of someone's will (decision), desire; act in accordance with certain official documents and procedures; to be defined according to a certain naming method; to be defined on the basis of some measurement method.
