A Multimedia Platform for Mexican Cultural Heritage Diffusion

New Web technologies that allow greater interaction among users have emerged in the Internet. In such a way that now it is common for users to participate actively by writing, publishing, exchanging or sharing digital content over the Internet. This fact has allowed the emergence of web communities, web services, social networking services, wikis, blogs, etc. that are developed on a specific topic. This paper presents a multimedia web platform for the creation, edition and dissemination of historical cultural contents. Security strategies are considered in the design and implementation of the interactive platform. A digital platform with this purpose is very important due to the great cultural heritage of Mexico. We evaluate the operation of our platform with cultural information related with different historic stages of Mexico such as prehispanic, colonial and independent. Our proposal seeks that the population has knowledge of cultural and historical contents in order to continuing preserve their cultural heritage.
