Abstract

[English abstract]
The aim of this work is to characterize the educational web domains of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Perú and Uruguay. For this purpose, a sample of each information domain was collected using an automatic crawling tool. These domains were later analyzed according to different aspects of their contents, links and technologies in order to determine differences and similarities from their most representative parameters. From this study we can derive some interesting facts: a) the amount of contents in all the countries has increased over the last year, b) it is necessary to increase the ranking of pages in educational domains, especially by providing incoming links from intra-domains, as we found a high percentage of pages with zero in-degree, and c) new technologies are needed to manage dynamic pages within educational institutions.

Trabajo que tiene por objetivo caracterizar los dominios de web educativas de Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Perú y Uruguay. A este fin, se tomó una muestra de cada dominio de información, utilizando una herramienta de crawling automática. Luego los dominios fueron analizados de acuerdo a diferentes aspectos de sus contenidos, links y tecnologías para determinar diferencias y similitudes de sus parámetros más representativos. Del estudio se pueden concluir algunos hechos interesantes: a) la cantidad de contenido en todos los países se ha incrementado durante el año pasado, b) es necesario incrementar el ranking de páginas en el dominio educativo, especialmente con la provisión de links entrantes desde intra-dominios, debido a que se encontró un alto porcentaje de páginas con cero in-degree y c) las nuevas tecnologías son necesarias para administrar páginas educativas dentro de las instituciones educativas.
