<jats:p>Anthropologist Thomas Headland requested help developing his Agta Demographic Database for publication on the Web for anthropological research. This was not a typical programming job for a computer scientist who did not have experience in anthropology. Knowledge and discipline boundaries needed to be crossed by both the computer scientist and the anthropologist in order to produce a successful research tool. This article chronicles the project and what was learned from an interdisciplinary and collaborative process. Unusual data requirements and limitations in the development tools can present challenges that require collaborative solutions. Several recommendations are given for anthropologists who will work with computer scientists.</jats:p>
