It is a piece of work that is fictional yet with realife strands, based on real life.

It depends, ignoring political speeches and other such products, semi-fiction relates to a type of writing that combines actual events or locations with fictional characters and actions. An example of this are many WWII stories where actual events are portrayed through the eyes of fictional character(s). Another example is some mystery stories where events occur in the context of historical actions but the event highlighted never occurred.
Although stories happen in a specific time frame in the "real world" actual events and locations must play a specific role in order for the story to be "semi-fiction". This is also true of movies and, in reality, many "biographical movies" fall into the semi-fiction category as the movies are often "spiced up" or compressed to make them more interesting. Semi-fiction is a way, when done correctly, of bringing history and historical events to life in a way that a straight telling of an event will not.

Semi fiction is writing fictional accounts of historic people, places or events. As a good example, there are a series of books which place Margaret Truman, wife of the president, in the middle of a series of mysteries. Historic person, fictional account.

Semi fiction is when the topic could really happen and not all made up like goosebumps or whatever would be semi fiction because its all made up. for example if somebody writes a story about somebody moving to another country and all the stuff could really happen so that would be considered semi fiction.

Lot of real facts in a fiction plot. Say talking about actual war events of WW II but the characters are made up. Another example describing the safari with factious travelers.

it means that the story is true, but some parts are altered to make it more interesting or give more depth to the story

mostly what you read in newspapers - half the story if you are lucky.... "faction" is another term.... Michael Moore's film ar e a good example - facts mixed with conjecture = credible....
