iSign Metadata Reference

This repository is a metadata-only reference version of the original dataset:

👉 https://huggingface.co/datasets/Exploration-Lab/iSign

It does not contain or redistribute any original video files.
Only lightweight metadata is stored.

Purpose

This dataset is created to:

• maintain a reusable metadata copy
• support preprocessing and dataset engineering workflows
• avoid duplication of large video files
• preserve linkage to the original dataset
• enable downstream annotation or translation pipelines

---

Each row includes:

• source_dataset — original dataset name
• source_dataset_url — link to original dataset
• source_split — split name (e.g., train)
• source_row_idx — original row index
• video_id — derived from uid
• text — associated text
• original_video_ref — placeholder (not populated)
