<dc:description>The DGS Corpus is a collection of DGSGerman Sign Language data from 330 signers from Germany. The 19-year long-term project is based at the Institute of German Sign Language and Communication of the Deaf at the University of Hamburg and started in 2009. It is led by Thomas Hanke and Annika Herrmann. The DGS Corpus is used to build the DGSGerman Sign Language–German dictionary DW-DGS. In the timeframe 2010–2012, the signers were recorded in pairs in a mobile studio travelling to thirteen spots in Germany. The signers were sitting opposite each other in front of a blue background. In total seven cameras were used for the recordings, five HD cameras and two Bumblebees. The Bumblebees were later replaced by three HD stereo cameras. The cameras were set up in three different angles: one recording a total view including the moderator, one filming each signer from the front and one from above. The original resolution is 720p50 for the videos of 2010 and 1080i50 for the videos from 2011 onwards. Public data is provided in 360p50. A Deaf moderator was leading through the tasks. The DGS Corpus is available in different formats: MY DGS is a community portal which offers an easy access to the data tailored for users interested in the content of the conversations. Videos can be watched in an online viewer with subtitles. MY DGS – annotated is a research portal which offers the annotated corpus data for linguistic research. MY DGS – ANNIS is another research portal making the DGS Corpus available via the corpus tool ANNIS, a web browser-based search and visualization architecture for complex multilayer linguistic corpora.</dc:description>

OLAC metadata records are scored for metadata quality on a 10-point scale explained in OLAC Metadata Metrics. The score for the above record (along with comments on changes that could improve the score) is as follows:
| Component | + | - | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Title | 1 | 0 | |
| Date | 0 | 1 | Add a dc:date element (or one of its refinements, like dcterms:created or dcterms:issued). |
| Agent | 1 | 0 | |
| About | 1 | 0 | |
| Depth | 1 | 0 | |
| Content Language | 0 | 1 | Add a dc:language element with an ISO 639-3 code to identify the language in which the resource is written or spoken. |
| Subject Language | 1 | 0 | |
| OLAC Type | 1 | 0 | |
| DCMI Type | 1 | 0 | |
| Precision | 0.67 | 0.33 | For the full score, make use of at least one more encoding scheme in addition to the ones counted explicitly in other components of
the score. For instance,
