We propose a regular way to construct lattice versions of W-algebras,
both for the quantum and the classical case. In the classical case we
write the algebra explicitly and derive the lattice analogue of the Bo
ussinesq equation from the Hamiltonian equations of motion. The connec
tion between the lattice Faddeev-Takhtadjan-Volkov algebra and the q-d
eformed Virasoro algebra is also discussed.
