A **semi-local ring** is a concept in commutative algebra that generalizes some ideas of local rings. A ring \\( R \\) is called a semi-local ring if it has a finite number of maximal ideals. This means that the set of maximal ideals of \\( R \\) is not necessarily just one (as in the case of local rings), but consists of a finite collection of such ideals.
