Hello Cherie,<br><br>yes on this I work few years with my colegues.<br>On this topic cooperate my Masaryk University in Brno and University<br>of West Bohemia in Plzeň (both Czech Republic).<br>We are trying to make script that will be capable to convert<br>SignWriting to HamNoSys and also HamNoSys to SignWriting.<br>We have already done conversion of handshapes. We only convert<br>hanshapes of Czech Sign Language.<br>We are already using this conversion in searching signs in our dictionary.<br><br>Definitly I believe we can cooperate in further development, we have<br>still several issues to solve.<br><br>Honza Fikejs,<br>Czech Republic<br><br><br>On 15 June 2012 04:01, Cherie Wren <<a ymailto="mailto:cwterp@yahoo.com" href="mailto:cwterp@yahoo.com">cwterp@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:<br>><br>> ----- Forwarded Message -----<br>> From: Penny Boyes Braem <<a ymailto="mailto:boyesbraem@FZGRESEARCH.ORG"

We, like perhaps some of you, have<br>> over the years done notations in both systems and use both systems for<br>> different purposes. We would like to be able to convert some signs only<br>> notated in one system to notations in the other system. We will be starting<br>> with a SW->HNS conversion
script.<br>><br>> To test this script, it would greatly help us to have examples of signs from<br>> other sign languages notated in both SW and HNS. Would any of you be<br>> interested in cooperating with us on this project and would have some<br>> dual-notated signs from your sign language that you could contribute to the<br>> project for script-testing purposes? You would, of course, have access to<br>> any conversion scripts that would develop from this project.<br>><br>> Thanks and greetings from us both,<br>><br>> Penny (Penny Boyes Braem, Center for Sign Language Research, Basel)<br>> and Sarah (Sarah Ebling, Institute for Computer Linguistics, University of<br>> Zürich)<br>><br>> Dr. Penny Boyes Braem<br>> Forschungszentrum für Gebärdensprache (FZG) Basel<br>> Center for Sign Language Research, Basel<br>><br>><br>><br>><br>><br><br><br><br> </div> </div>
