In this paper, we introduce a new authoring mechanism called virtual authoring for digital documents. It can be used to create documents by customizing and integrating segments
of existing documents. A suitable document model for the virtual authoring is discussed in
which two types of virtual documents are declared with possible functions for content development. Shallow copy is introduced as an underline technique for the construction
and maintenance of virtual documents. Documents are reused in developing new documents but are not replicated. The virtual authoring provides the framework for the new information layers on top of the existing collection of digital documents while safeguarding their copyrights and ownerships.
