Web Portals
Web portals are gateways or entry points for information presentation and exchange over the World Wide Web. This is a vital part of the interconnection process where information flows back and forth between servers. In this perspective, Web portals need efficient support for the information and communication sharing.
Technologies that are present today used to build and maintain these Web portals have some serious limitations in terms of facilities for accessing, searching, interpreting, extracting and processing of information. Continuous research, development and growth of the World Wide Web is opening new venues to overcome these limitations and promising enhanced Web portals. Achieving these enhancements and improvements will lead to better applications.
