The SIGN-LEX data visualization platform was conceived of and designed by the ASL-LEX team, and was initially created as a means of sharing the ASL-LEX lexical database. The Boston University SAIL team at the Rafik B. Hariri Institute for Computing and Computational Science & Engineering developed the software that currently underpins the SIGN-LEX data visualizations.

Each of the affiliated lexicons was developed by a different team. Find out more information about these projects and their contributors here.
