  abstract  = {This paper discusses the process of creating corpora of the sign languages used in Finland, Finnish Sign Language (FinSL) and Finland-Swedish Sign Language (FinSSL). It describes the process of getting informants and data, editing and storing the data, the general principles of annotation, and the creation of a web-based lexical database, the FinSL Signbank, developed on the basis of the NGT Signbank, which is a branch of the Auslan Signbank. The corpus project of Finland{\' }s Sign Languages (CFINSL) started in 2014 at the Sign Language Centre of the University of Jyv{\"a}skyl{\"a}. Its aim is to collect conversations and narrations from 80 FinSL users and 20 FinSSL users who are living in different parts of Finland. The participants are filmed in signing sessions led by a native signer in the Audio-visual Research Centre at the University of Jyv{\"a}skyl{\"a}. The edited material is stored in the IDA storage service produced by the CSC -- IT Center for Science, and the metadata will be saved into CMDI metadata. Every informant is asked to sign a consent form where they state for what kinds of purposes their signing can be used. The corpus data are annotated using the ELAN tool. At the moment, annotations are created on the levels of glosses and translation.}

  abstract  = {Signbank is a web application that was originally built to support the Auslan Signbank on-line web dictionary, it was an Open Source re-implementation of an earlier version of that site. The application provides a framework for the development of a rich lexical database of sign language augmented with video samples of signs. As an Open Source project, the original Signbank has formed the basis of a number of new sign language dictionaries and corpora including those for British Sign Language, Sign Language of the Netherlands and Finnish Sign Language. Versions are under development for American Sign Language and Flemish Sign Language. This paper describes the overall architecture of the Signbank system and its representation of lexical entries and associated entities.}
