	abstract = {This article examines how document repositories can be utilized for humanities research and critical interpretation. The article specifically focuses on the rapidly expanding field of text mining. A case study of 300 XML encoded letter written between Emily Dickinson and her sister-in-law Susan Huntingdon Dickinson was used by the authors to experiment with their methods and test their theories. The authors argue that in order for computational methods to significantly effect the humanities discipline the tools developed must be concerned with scholarly interpretation and be useable by non-experts. Using a multinomial na{\"\i}ve Bayes algorithm, the authors trained a computer program to "read" the Dickinson correspondence for erotic language and to then classify the letters based on the appearance (or not) of this language. The panel of literary scholars was particularly pleased by how accurately the algorithm classified the letters. Feedback was given for improving aesthetic qualities of the user interface but overall the tool proved both useful and useable. },

	abstract = {In this second essay in a series on electronic scholarly editing, Martha Nell Smith strives to define and differentiate print editing from electronic editing. Smith discusses how editorial practices have shifted with the advent of digital editing. She emphasizes the transparency of electronic scholarly editing in its ability to represent the text{\textquoteright}s physicality more fully through digital reproductions rather than the distillation of a text that occurs in the print editing process. Additionally, Smith argues that electronic editing has promoted and increased the viability of scholarly collaboration. Smith asserts that these types of collaborative, polygraphic works should be the future of digital humanities publications.},
