The Auslan corpus annotations that have been created to date are intended primarily for inves- tigations of grammar and discourse, rather than a basic phonological or lexical analysis of the language. The investigation centres on the modification of indicating verbs in terms of fre- quency of types/tokens, and their environments of occurrence (e.g., during periods of con- structed action, with or without contiguous pointing signs, or with reference to the sequential order of related nominal arguments). The focus is on the analysis of the grammatical use of space in Auslan in terms of semantic roles and grammatical relations.

OK, so linguistic sort of annotations are in there, are there glosses?

Let's focus on the 2008 version, aka https://www.elararchive.org/dk0001

OK, so for "Features" I think we can safely say video, gloss. We don't have a category for "linguistic/grammatical".

However the 2008 version hosted on ELAR Collections says has this to say:

Reading the paper, they used ELAN for annotation

Also citation key had "2010" in it but points to https://aclanthology.org/Y08-1002, from 2008. Fixed this also.
