A major challenge in putting the CHIL vision into practice was to integrate contributions from project partners all over Europe and the United States. While standard Web technologies such as HTTP support core data exchange, perceptual component integration places higher demands on distributed intercommunication. Interfaces have to be defined for the type-safe exchange of structured data between components that are implemented in diverse computer languages.
