Innovation in Assembly - A new architecture is rising

The transition from a construction-based era to an era based on the assembly of software components along with the concept of mashup of feed and/or external services, leads to a substantial re-consideration of the notion of portal, which is no longer a content publication tool but an aggregator of accessible information and services via a Rich Client interface capable of making the most of the potential of tools such as wikies and blogs.
 

Portal 2.0

• Building a service ecosystem, increase services and functionalities in a traditional portal through the use of external web APIs and feeds
• A rich client interface, more thin-client and less fat-server
• A real multichannel access through, for example, the use of widgets or gadgets
• The use of folking systems (blog, wikis, moblog...) to attract user generated content or knowledge
• The use of rating for user and content recognition among the community
• The use of tagging and folksonomies for a better content categorization and access
