D9.2 An overview of resources in the making

This report describes the effort to locate new sign language documentation projects within EU countries for under-resourced sign languages. A key reason to identify these projects is to train new documentation teams in how to create language datasets in a way that meets current standards and to prepare them to be relevant for the latest language technologies. The search for new documentation projects yielded very minimal results. We did not find any new or upcoming projects, but did uncover a few datasets and corpora that were not previously known to the EASIER project partners. The lack of results seems to confirm a relatively bleak picture: for almost a quarter of sign languages in Europe, there is no past or current project of language documentation, and seemingly no plans to do so in the future.
