What are Distributed Portals? Knowledge in Physics is produced spread all over

the world, even away form earth. Information is published in a distributed way

- Institutional Webserver- Online Journals- Print-only Journals

Information is available in different genres- Refereed articles- Peer-reviewed online-publications- Software- Datasets

What are Distributed Portals? Portals collect existing information form

different sources Portals present information in a common

desktop- Separation of content and layout

Distributed Portals- Collect existing content from distributed sources

(web-server)- Extract content from layout

• Meta-information required

Distributed Workforce Distributed Content

- Biggest example is the Web...

Distributed Workforce- Much more complicate

• Quality-problem• Problem of continuity• Problem of politics and interests

- Charter• Define common goals

Distributed vs. Centralised Centralised

- High information structure- Common layout- Easy navigation through the information

Distributed- Up to date information- Low budget implementation- Good information coverage
