	abstract = {In this essay, Raymond Siemens discusses different styles or types of edition building practices for electronic editions. The two basic models for electronic editions: the dynamic text approach and the hypertext approach. The dynamic text approach traditionally combines an encoded text with analysis software in order to facilitate dynamic reader engagement. Hypertextual editing is thought to mirror social theories of editing by leveraging hyper textual organization to facilitate the reader{\textquoteright}s interaction with the text. Siemens argues that, for publishers, producing materials on the Internet "provides the most efficient and universal way of delivering electronic information, much more efficient than a number of platform-specific floppy-disks, CD-ROMs with storage limits of under 1 gigabyte, and awkward digital tape." However, Siemens does note that there are gap between "what is and what should be" when it comes to the current capabilities of Internet editing. As a way of concluding, Siemens briefly addresses the shifting role of the editor in producing an electronic edition. },
