ISL-LEX is an open-source online interface built using the SIGN-LEX visualization (see also Contributors), which provides phonological information and other details about 961 non-compound signs in Israeli Sign Language. Each sign is accompanied by a video, and the entire dataset is presented in a visual network of phonological relations, with the most closely related signs in clusters. The ISL-LEX interface is available in both English and Hebrew.
