Toward a Framework for Semantic Organizational Information Portal

Abstract

Abstract. Information Portals have gathered lot of attention among many organizations interested in a single point of access to their information and services. But developing portals from scratch is sometimes too expensive, so many vendors have proposed frameworks to make it affordable. Notwithstanding the frameworks the market offers seem stuck in a simplicity vs. flexibility trade off imposed by the Web technologies they are built with. Therefore we believe that a technology change is required and that Semantic Web technology can play a key role in developing a new, Semantic, generation of simpler and, at the same time, flexibler frameworks for Organizational Information Portal.
