Not new but I just saw it reviewed in the Scout Report for today.

Limited to Google Chrome but what do you expect from folks that support “open” standards? (Seems like we would not have to teach the value of interoperability again and again.)

Written in HTML5 so there is hope someone will create a trans-browser service of this sort.

Even in this browser inhibited form, could be useful for another run at a graphic language for topic maps.

Proposals could be floated, trimmed, extended, etc. to see what communities of practice emerge. If any. Personally I suspect that like the domains they model, icons are going to be domain specific. Or even language specific.

Witness UML. It’s ok, if you want to speak UML. Most bankers prefer “banking,” insurance clerks “insurance,” government officials “regulations/oppression” (depends on your point of view), etc.

Me? Nice of you to ask but I’m with the guy/girl with the checkbook. Whatever they want to speak is my preference as well.
