Right now, the way to input information is with text and image files are not able to be uploaded into the program. It would be great to someday have that ability though.

workshop: There are many definitions of a language corpus. One such definition
offered by McEnery, Xiao and Tono (2006) is a collection of texts in a given
language that is representative, comprehensive, accessible, machine-readable
and searchable. There are several ongoing language corpora projects focused on
the documentation of sign languages in countries like
Australia , The Netherlands, the
United Kingdom and
Germany . To date, there have been
several workshops in Europe on various aspects
of building a sign language corpus (e.g., the SLCN series of workshops co-
organized by Onno Crasborn and colleagues). This workshop will provide a much
needed opportunity for researchers based in the US
and Canada
to share experiences from their work in this area, as well as share ideas for
future projects.</span></font></p><div><font face="Courier New" size="2"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"" lang="EN-GB"> </span></font><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Courier New" size="2"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"" lang="EN-GB">Program
