About

A living document capturing institutional and individual visions for an enterprise portal framework by educational institutions for educational institutions. Address problems we want to solve and descriptions of roles we see portals playing e.g customizable, personalizable user platform, service delivery mechanism

Community Vision Statement

uPortal is a free, sharable portal under development by educational institutions. This group sees an institutional portal as an abridged and customized version of the institutional Web presence... a "pocket-sized" version of the campus Web. Portal technology adds "customization" and "community" to the campus Web presence. Customization allows each user to define a unique and personal view of the campus Web. Community tools, such as chat, forums, survey, and so on, build relationships among campus constituencies.

uPortal is an open-standard effort using Java, XML, JSP and J2EE. It is a collaborative development project with the effort shared among several of the JA-SIG member institutions. You may download uPortal and use it on your site at no cost.
