Foil 7 Shared Portals on the Web I

From Off Beat XML Uses in Computing Portals NCSA Portal/Metadata Meeting -- October 22-23 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Each "Shared Portal on the Web" or SPW is a set of XML and HTML documents
An XML document defines the collaboration Structure as a refinement of basic portal structure (portalML) -- who is allowed in "Shared Portal"; what objects can be there; where they are stored
  • This replaces the suite of undocumented rigid policies in TangoInteractive as well as scattered configuration files
  • There is one such XML document for each type of SPW e.g. there would be alliancechemegyportal.xml or pacstraining.xml etc.
  • We have developed the XML based SPDL (Shared Portal Definition Language) which is currently quite simple and is used in the SPW structure definition
