International audience If sharing best practices and conventions for annotation of Sign Language corpora is a growing activity, less attention has been given to the annotation of non-manual activity. This paper focuses on annotation of eye gaze. The aim is to report some of the practices, and begin a discussion on this topic, to be continued during the workshop. After having presented and discussed the nature of the annotation values in several projects, and explain our own practices, we examine the level of interpretation in the annotation process, and how the design of annotation conventions can be motivated by limitations in the available annotation tools.
