  • Mobile Access to Cultural and Historical Heritage Web Pages
    Mobile Access to Cultural and Historical Heritage Web Pages Tihomir Stefanov, Milena Stefanova St Cyril and St Methodius University of Veliko Tarnovo, Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics, 2, T. Tarnovski Str., 5003 Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. The main focus of attention in this paper is the access to websites of leading regional, national and world museums. Their accessibility from desktop and mobile devices is hereby evaluated. The paper covers a detailed analysis of the mobile operating systems, their market share in Bulgaria and the opportuni- ties they offer to the users. The need for contemporary cultural and historical heritage websites which maintain lighter but fully-functioning mobile versions, facilitating and making their access from portable devices easier, is also well- grounded here. Keywords: Historical Museums Web-Sites, Mobile Access, Mobile Operating Systems, Mobile Phones, Smart Phones 1 Introduction Ever since its formation in 1988 till now (Q3 2012/third trimester), one of the fastest developing segments of the economy is the mobile communications market. There are many factors contributing to this development: increase in the demand for mobile services, the working out of new technologies, as well as their very quick reach to the end-user. According to a survey carried out by IAB (Interactive Advertising Bureau) Bulgar- ia, 500 000 people countrywide use Internet from their mobile phones, while 19% of all internet users use more than one device for internet access. The same sharp in- crease in the number of mobile internet users has triggered the initiative to carry out a survey on the possible access to cultural and historical heritage websites.
