These are two points of view from which to observe and analyze a given discourse or text (linguistic or other).

The semasiological point of view corresponds to an "ascending path" that links the signified (or content) to the signifier (or expression). This is the generative point of view (a discursive point of view). It provides a representation of semiotic production.

The onomasiological point of view is a "descending path", that links the signifier (expression) to the signified (or content). This is the hermeneutic point of view (a textual point of view). It provides a representation of semiotic interpretation.
