Portal
technologies provide unique opportunities for securely sharing
information throughout an organization, or with partners,
customers, suppliers, and/or the general public at an extremely
lower cost. Portals ideally serve three types of content:
applications, information (internal and external), and expertise
(who knows what). Beyond the obvious benefit of deploying
a unified user interface, the portal should support extended
process and data structures. In this way, a portal can present
fully defined business process steps for each user; context
management, a component of knowledge management; and common
administration and management.
The key
service components of a portal Architecture include:
- Content aggregation,
management, and personalization
- Basic repository
services - a cache for content
- Search and
retrieval
- Contribution
and collaboration
- Categorization
and classification
- Access control
