What is a Web Portal, and what should it contain?
- Thread starter jnicho02
- Start date
In my opinion a "web portal" is the entry point to a Web Community Site. For example the Netscape Netcenter at <br>
This is very close to sun's defintion, I suppose.<br>
<br>
Let's close the gap to OLAP: Just think a moment about the connection of a web server and the internet mall software (application server used for internet shopping, f.e. Intershop). Scramble the data collected from web server (internet connections, web providers) and application server (products, web pages, times, sometimes userids...)and collect them in a integrated data base (the data warehouse). A DWH of this type is often called a "Click Stream Data Mart".<br>
<br>
What do you think? Do I missed the point?

CG, I like your definition. Short and sweet is just what I was looking for.<br>
<br>
My reference to OLAP and portals was mainly in line with various companies (Brio, MineShare, ACG) announcing that their products are now 'enterprise portals'. The main point being that...<br>
<br>
A portal "provides endusers with self-service, personalised access to the entire corporate data store - including both structured and unstructured data".<br>
- John Schroeder "Enterprise Portals: A New Business Intelligence Paradigm" @ <br>
e.g. from the portal web site you can run OLAP reports, look at the company phone list, search for all the reports, documents, graphics and spreadsheets for mentions of your top customer, and many other things. It should provide you with access to all of the information you need to make business decisions.

"Enterprise Portals"
When a business adopts this method of collecting click stram data from within its organization, What type of privacy policy should be applied toward targeting employee vs public data. Should there be concent before an Active Data Link is put on a employee's desktop?
