This paper presents the structure and design of the VRE of LINHD, theDigital Innovation Lab at UNED and the first Digital Humanities Center inSpain. It focuses on the possibilities of a collaborative environment focused ona very realistic type of research: a non-English speaker, relatively new in DHtechnologies, which is keen on working in his project with his team, but doesnot have a uniform team of researchers (that means, they have different levels ofunderstanding DH technologies).Taking into account the language barrier that English may suppose for aSpanish-speaking scholar or student and the distance they may encounter withthe data and organization of the interface (in terms of computational knowledge)while facing a scholarly digital edition or collection, LINHD?s VRE comes as asolution for the virtual research community interested in scholarly digital work.
