“…They started to analyze the critical role of icon structure and tired to represent it by the RDF SKOS3 based technology (see figure 2). [21] Although the research results manifested icons could be useful to recognize information in crisis management, none of these applications mentioned the importance of iconic annotation structure for crisis management. That's the reason we will present a new type of icon to represent information to support decision making.…”

Crisis management is typical collaborative work which requires multi types of actors to cooperate in decision making. Crisis Clever System (CCS) is a decision making environment based on emergency experience feedback and provides situation base for later cases. Co-annotation may be needed to remark resources in the situation base or cooperate in decision making when crisis occurs. Iconic coannotation is meaningful to this map-based cooperative work and is supposed to improve the interpretation of situations described in CCS. In this paper, a VDL-based iconic co-annotation method is presented for crisis management. It is assumed to better express multiunderstanding of situations in CCS and to improve the communication quality when cooperating in real CCS-based crisis management.

Graphically structured icons for knowledge tagging

Knowledge organization systems need tags to centralize and provide the keywords that can be employed in classifying, sharing and seeking knowledge for personal or organizational use. However, the increased variety of vocabularies and languages causes the connections between textual tags and the documents marked by them to become less and less distinctive. The purpose of this paper is to present an exploratory study on new type of knowledge tags: structured iconic tags. This kind of tag is created based on the special graphical rule -Visual Distinctive Language (VDL) -and has particular focus on the representation of tag structure. A 'tagging on paper' experiment was conducted to compare tagging results among three types of tags: textual tags, iconic tags without explicit structure and VDL-based iconic tags. Experimental results demonstrated that the new type of iconic tags improves the representation of tag structure as well as the interpretation of tag meaning. This work is one of the first to investigate how icons would be applied for tagging and what kind of graphical code would better represent knowledge organization. Findings in this paper could enrich the tagging method, which in turn provides a possible way to develop a visual knowledge organization system and iconic tag clouds for digital library.
