Abstract

~ ~ ~ The paper discusses the practices of digital editions in the context of digital heritage preservation. A brief overview of the state-of-art in Russia is proposed. It is stated that an up-to-date digital edition project should meet a number of requirements which concern conditions for long-term preservation, data accessibility and sustainability of formats. The paper sets a perspective to discuss a new project on Leo Tolstoy's literary heritage (Tolstoy Digital). Based on 90-volume complete edition of Tolstoy's work, the project, nevertheless, is positioned not as a digital reproduction of a printed edition but as a freestanding resource open for absorbing data from other sources.
