Nonabelian cohomology classifies higher bundles (higher gerbes). These higher bundles may be equipped with connection structure, thus yielding nonabelian differential cohomology. We discuss explicit realization of these structures in terms of parallel transport n-functors and L-infinity-valued differential forms.
