SIGN-HUB aims to provide the first comprehensive response to the societal and scientific challenge resulting from generalized neglect of the cultural and linguistic identity of signing Deaf communities in Europe. To this end, it will create an open state-of-the-art digital platform with customized accessible interfaces.

The project will initially feed that platform with core content in the following domains, expandable in the future to other sign languages:

• digital grammars of 6 sign languages, produced with a new online grammar writing tool;
• an interactive digital atlas of linguistic structures of the world's sign languages;
• online sign language assessment instruments for education and clinical intervention, and
• the first digital archive of life narratives by elderly signers, subtitled and partially annotated for linguistic properties.
