Spanish Abstract: En este trabajo de investigación se caracteriza el espacio web argentino a partir del análisis de una muestra, tomada a principios del año 2006, cercana a los 10 millones de páginas extraídas de 150.000 sitios. En particular, se realizó análisis de contenidos, de enlaces y de tecnologías utilizadas para construir sitios. Los resultados obtenidos son consistentes con los de otros espacios webs nacionales. Del estudio surgen las siguientes observaciones: Existe una importante proporción de dominios “com.ar” (97.6%). En lo referente al contenido, predominan términos relacionados con la actividad comercial, mientras que en los nombres de los sitios, aparecen mayormente términos relacionados con el turismo. El 72% de las páginas han sido creadas o modificadas en el último año, lo cual indica que el espacio web argentino está creciendo aceleradamente. Con referencia a tecnologías, el 48% de las páginas de la muestra son estáticas y el 52%, dinámicas, las cuales se encuentran construidas en gran parte utilizando herramientas libres. El 76% de los sitios se hallan alojados en servidores que residen en Argentina. De los indicadores anteriores se desprende que existe un importante desarrollo tecnológico y de la infraestructura de comunicaciones de Argentina relacionada con la web. English Abstract: This article presents the results of research on the characterization of the Argentinian web domain over a sample of almost 10 million web pages from 150.000 sites collected in the early 2006. Particularly, we have studied page contents, link structure and technologies used in the construction of the sites. The results are consistent with earlier research on other national web domains. This study reveals a number of interesting facts: To begin with, there is a significant proportion (97.6%) of “.com.ar” domains. As regards page contents, we have found a predominance of terms related to commercial activity. However, terms found in site names, extracted from their URLs, are mostly related to tourism. 72% of the pages have been created or modified in the last year, which indicates that the Argentinian web space is growing quickly. As for technologies, 48% of the pages from the sample are static and 52% dynamic, the latter being mostly built using free tools. Besides, 76% of the sites are hosted in servers geographically located in Argentina. These two facts show there is an important web-related technological development and communication infrastructure in Argentina.
