This paper present one component of Dicta-Sign, a three-year FP7 ICT project that aims to improve the state of web-based communication for Deaf people. A part of this project is the annotation of sign language corpora. To improve the annotation task in terms of reproducibility and time consuming, several plug-ins for sign language video processing are developed. The component presented in this paper aims to link several plug-ins to annotation software through the network. These plug-ins can be coded in different languages, operating systems and computers. For that, it uses the SOAP Web-service and a specific data-format in XML for the data exchange.
