This chapter presents the current state-of-the-art in iconic descriptive approaches to annotating, searching, and correlating that are based on the concepts of compound and composite icons, the iconic annotation process, and iconic queries. Specific iconic languages used for applications such as video annotation, military use and text annotation are discussed. Graphical coding principals are derived through the consideration of questions such as: How much information can a small icon convey? How many attributes can be displayed on a small icon either explicitly or implicitly? The chapter also summirizes impact of human perception on icon design.
Key words: iconic representation, compound icon, composite icon, iconic query, iconic sentence, graphical coding
