One of the most fundamental questions in visual language research is how to specify a visual language. By a visual language we mean a set of diagrams which are valid “sentences” in that language where a diagram is a collection of “symbols” in a two or three dimensional space. Which sentences are valid and what their meaning is depends on spatial relationships between the symbols. Thus, for example, mathematical expressions, plans, and musical notation are commonly used visual languages. In this chapter we survey the many formalisms which have been suggested over the last three decades for visual language specification, and also indicate their possible applications.
