Abstract
The paper explores how digital resources can be successfully built for historical projects. It focuses on projects that use highly structured data as the paradigm for representation, and it explores the basis for a collaboration between technically-oriented partners who understand and can work within the formalisms of highly structured digital data and historians who must ensure that the formal structures that emerge properly represent the historical issues. The author has experience with over 20 such projects and believes that a rich, understanding of the model for the structured data that is shared between technical staff and historians is the key component in achieving success. Through looking at examples from these projects the paper shows how this shared understanding can positively affect several aspects of the project work and the resulting digital resource
