Introduction
Empowering scientific communities with tools that enable them to make use of European Grid Infrastructure services is important for the successful engagement of EGI with with new users. Portals play an important role here.
Portals can eliminate barriers of e-Infrastructure access, portals can seamlessly integrate the grid and the web. Because of their strong relation to users, portals are typically geared to specific use cases. Several NGIs, user communities and projects of EGI offer portals or reusable "portal builder technologies" for end users and for portal developers. With such a diversity it becomes difficult to make a decision on which technology to use. Which portal or portal builder technology should I use? During the last EGI Technical Forum the User and Community Support Team of EGI.eu organized a topical workshop on portal technologies and tried to answer that question.
An important outcome of the workshop was an agreement to create a "portal technology comparison table" for EGI. The table aims to provide an analysis of existing and reusable portals, portal developer frameworks, portlets and components to help scientific communities and their supporting NGIs identify solutions that best meet their needs and should be considered when building and using portals.
Questions
EGI.eu drafted a set of questions to collect information about existing portal technology solutions and to make a comparison. These questions were reviewed by the three main groups of people who participated in the topical workshop on portal technologies, namely:
- software developers who produce reusable components for portal development.
- providers of portal services: both software based services (the portals themselves) and human services (such as consultancy and training)
- scientific communities who require and/or already use portals to interact with the e-Infrastructure.
