	abstract = {In this essay, Sonia Massai discusses the critical and contemplative decisions behind creating a working model for assembling an electronic edition by drawing on her personal experiences developing the Internet Shakespeare Edition of Edward III. Massai observes the similarities and differences between print and digital edition beginning with the organization or layout of material. While a print edition necessitates an order, an electronic edition possesses the ability to obscure this hierarchy. Also, the "electronic medium not only de-centres the modern edition but also the traditional role of the editor, by being intrinsically open to collaboration." Massai asserts that the electronic medium possesses the "versatility and multiplicity" to overcome the challenges of readability and audience when compiling an edition. Finally, electronic editing can shift and shape author attribution.},
