The Sign Language Dataset Compendium


Corpus

Visibase Corpus

The Visibase corpus is a collection of digitised and described Sign Language of the Netherlands material that was present in the late 1990s at the sign language research groups at the University of Amsterdam and at Leiden University. The project lasted from 1996–2001 and was based at Radboud University, University of Amsterdam and Utrecht University.

Analogue video tapes were copied to professional digital video tapes (DVCAM). Metadata descriptions were created for all the data from Leiden and parts of the data from Amsterdam.
