“French researchers have developed a new iconic drug information system inspired by road signs. This icon system is named VCM, short for ?Visualisation des Connaissances Médicales? in French, which means ?Visualization of Medical Knowledge.? Like road signs, the VCM graphical language uses a small set of graphical signs. The current dictionary contains about 130 pictograms displayed in 5 colors.”
