| Domain | Definitions |
Geological | Refers to the chemical unit silicon tetroxide, SiO4, the fundamental building block of silicate minerals. Silicate minerals make up most rocks we see at the Earth's surface. (references) |
Metallurgy | Compound originated from combination of silica with one or several metal oxides. Source: European Union. (references) |
Mining | A. A compound whose crystal structure contains SiO4 tetrahedra, either isolaed or joined through one or more of the oxygen atoms to form groups, chains, sheets, or three-dimensional structures with metallic elements. Silicates were once classified according to hypothetical oxyacids of silicon (see metasilicate and orthosilicate) but are now calssified according to crystal structure (see nesosilicate, sorosilicate, cyclosilicate, inosilicate, phyllosilicate, tectosilicate).

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Silicate minerals are noted for their tetrahedral form. Sometimes the tetrahedra are joined in chains, double chains, sheets, and three-dimensional frameworks. They are subclassified into groups based on the degree of polymerization of the tetrahedra, such as nesosilicates, cyclosilicates, and so forth.
In geology and astronomy, the term silicate is used to denote a type of rock that consists of silicon and oxygen (usually as SiO2 or SiO4), one or more metals, and possibly hydrogen. Such rocks range from granite to gabbro. Most of the Earth's crust is made up of silicate rocks, as are the crusts of other terrestrial planets.
Geologically, silicate minerals are divided according to their molecular structure into the following groups:
