Progress on automatic annotation looks attractive for the research on sign languages. Unfortunately, such tools are not easy to deploy or share. We propose a solution to uncouple the annotation software from the automatic processing module. Such a solution requires many developments: design of a network stack supporting the architecture, production of a video server handling trust policies, standardization of annotation encoding. In this article, we detail the choices made to implement this architecture.
