Despite having one of the highest ratios of graphical to textual information, biology still lacks standard graphical notations.

Recently Systems Biology Graphical Notation (SBGN), a visual language developed by a community of biochemists, modelers and computer scientists was suggested (Le Novère et al., 2009).

 

SBGN consists of three complementary languages: Process Diagram, Entity Relationship Diagram, and Activity Flow Diagram.
