Content Management System and appropriation of urban heritage: cibermutua.co case

Abstract

This paper presents the preliminary results of the research project “El cibermuseo: un medio para reconocer el patrimonio urbano difuso de Tunja”. It also describes the approach we used to select a Content Management System that enables to describe and display the collection on a website. Such system supported the achievement of objectives of a larger-scale project in the estimated time. The strategy herein was based on three elements: a GUI analysis of a set of museums’ websites and the related documentation; the search for and analysis of similar experiences; and a study of the suggestions and recommendations by experts in the field. Finally, we conducted a survey on user experience to assess the efficiency of the selected CMS.
