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
