In this paper we will examine how the modelling of research processes in the humanities can inform the development of digital tools created for the enhancement and augmentation of scholarship. In particular, we will present the ’Scholarly Domain Model’ (SDM) which provides a framework for the systematic investigation of the relation between scholarly practices and the emergence of digital practices and methodology in continuously evolving Virtual Research Environments (VRE). Our findings come from the EU funded DM2E project which has been working on further developing a digital humanities collaboration environment centred around the semantic annotation tool Pundit.
