Research project A CLARIN Resource Family for Sign Languages
The goal of this project was to establish a Clarin Resource Family (CRF) for Sign Languages (SL).
The purpose of the project was to make sign language corpora more visible, findable and accessible by establishing a common resource family for sign languages at the CLARIN website. The project was based on the sign language resources that K-center offers as part of the CLARIN infrastructure.

Project description
The project will establish a Clarin Resource Family (CRF) for Sign Languages (SL) along three action lines:
- Establish a CRF for SL corpora on this CLARIN website both for corpora and lexicons to make SL corpora more visible, findable and accessible.
- Arrange that our resources will be listed under the other CRFs where applicable (cross-linking).
- Explore and implement an extra metadata field in current profiles for ‘modality’, so as to refer to SL resources as a visual-gestural modality.
