Museum in the global network environment, its new needs and interests
This article is devoted to the study of the current status of such software as mobile applications, which are being introduced into Russian museums from 2012 to the present. The development of mobile applications is associated with a wide range of problems, part of which is the interaction of museum employees and developers, difficulties with creating technical specifications and coordinating the process of introducing a product into a museum, as well as with its development throughout the life cycle of an application. This study is based on an analysis of expert interviews with staff of the Computer Technology Sector of the State Hermitage Museum, as well as theses and results of hackathons on museum topics.
