In engineering grades, the accomplishment of experimental practices is limited to a real presence in the laboratory installations. Nevertheless, the development of remote environments has facilitated the use of experimental equipment outside the laboratory, avoiding the spatial and temporary barriers. There are so many initiatives that provides real interaction with the laboratory equipment, but no methodology exits that allows getting a unified vision of the development and access to these laboratories, that is to say, an specification of the experimental environment. This paper describes a specification proposal that relies about the definition of the laboratory components and the functionality of the experimentation environment in terms of these components. Using this approach, it will be possible to focus on the accomplishment of experiments and define them as reusable units of learning in an independent way. The component descriptions are defined in terms of XML tags and also a development framework is modelled in order to add tools for experiment designers and to provide a visual interaction with the laboratory.
