PictNet is an online pictogram communication system designed for children from any country that accomplishes equitable communication by reflecting each user’s cultural background with multilingual support. There were issues with search accuracy and the consistency of manageability of the PictNet pictogram repository. Online pictogram surveys and experimental pictogram-creation activities for children indicated that users should be able to search for pictograms more easily when the pictogram repository has the semantics framework not only of the relationship among concepts in PictNet, but also of the relationship among visual properties of pictograms, or background concepts of pictograms such as cultural and emotional information. Also, it was suggested that WordNet, an online lexical reference system, supports most of the new concepts requested by children with keeping its consistency. It was confirmed that findability and scalability are realized by grounding PictNet repository onto WordNet.
