Those folks up in the cold Canadian north have some scientists at Blueprint, led by Dr. Christopher Hogue at Mount Sinai Hospital's Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute, who have created a new symbolic language called OntoGlyphs.

This new collection of glyphs has 34 functional, 25 binding, and 24 location categories populated with Gene Ontology (GO) terms. It appears that with this awesome new visual language, scientists of the world will now be able to more quickly identify the attributes of proteins, particularly those in the BIND database.
