Abstract

Intelligent Integrated Computer-Assisted Language Learning (iiCALL) describes various approaches in the field of second language learning. The term ‘‘Integrated’’ refers to approaches which operate inside established workspaces such as Web-browsers and e-mail clients, whereas the term ‘‘Intelligent’’ relates to appropriate methods from the field of computer linguistics. The iiCALL environments are composed of several single systems, which are developed by specialists from different domains with specific background-knowledge (e.g. didactic experts, linguists, or software developers). High-quality solutions of such learning environments are characterized by solid technical delivery and proper language content. Both demand semantic interoperability between these systems as well as flexibility and scalability of the entire environment. Similar challenges exist in healthcare. Hence, the idea of the Health Level Seven V3 standard is adapted to meet the requirements for iiCALL. This paper addresses this challenge and presents a development framework for the conception of iiCALL, as well as a software framework for generic and transparent information exchange within those environments.
