English abstract

Evolutionary trends of digital content in mobile applications. In recent years, mobile applications have come to constitute an ecosystem of their own, becoming an important driver for innovation. The consolidation of mobile applications as the prevalent interface for content access has consequences for the production, distribution and consumption of content, merging the functional spheres of digital content: performance, creation, management and communication. This paper proposes a functional typology of mobile content applications, along with an evolutionary analysis model. It analyses the functional evolution of 153 versions of 12 relevant applications developed during two years (March 2013 through March 2015). Though statistical representativeness is limited, the sample analysis allowed validation of the model. The results point to intervention capacity and communication capacity over content as important value-added drivers in mobile content applications, although not in homogeneous terms for all the kinds of mobile applications analysed.

Spanish abstract

En los últimos años las aplicaciones móviles han constituido un ecosistema propio y un potente motor de innovación. La consolidación de las aplicaciones móviles como interfaz dominante del acceso a contenido tiene consecuencias en el plano de la producción, la distribución y el consumo, fusionando los cuatro ámbitos funcionales característicos del contenido digital: reproducción, creación, gestión y comunicación. En este artículo se fundamenta una tipología funcional de las aplicaciones móviles de contenido y un modelo de análisis evolutivo. A partir de él se analiza la evolución funcional de las 153 versiones desarrolladas durante dos años (marzo de 2013 a marzo de 2015) para una muestra de 12 aplicaciones significativas. Aunque la muestra ofrece una representatividad limitada, los resultados permiten validar el modelo y apuntan a que la capacidad de intervención y la capacidad de comunicación sobre el contenido constituyen elementos importantes en la creación de valor en las aplicaciones móviles de contenido, si bien no de forma homogénea en todos los tipos de aplicaciones establecidos.
