- by Stefan Krantz
The coming post over the next two months will be included in a new series.
The idea is to help the reader to understand how to enable a versatile and
manageable portal. Each post will go through a specific use case or lifecycle
group of events that a Content Driven Portal requires the development team to
consider. The current planning is to deliver following subjects, each topic will
be enclosed in a separate blog post.

Background
This post series has been issued to help customers, partners and consultants
to understand the concept of a WebCenter Portal project where the main focus or
a majority of the portal has content interaction. Today the most portal
installations Oracle WebCenter Portal is involved in have a vast majority of
content based pages. Many of the Portal projects have or will run into
challenges, to mitigate these challenges the portal and content lifecycle has to
be well designed. The coming posts will address the main components that should
be involved when creating such scenarios; it will also go into details on the
process by describing three solution scenarios. The aim with the scenarios
is to give the reader a more hands on understanding of the concept of building
and architecting a Content Driven Portal. The selected scenarios are selected
based on the most common use cases that we have identified until today.
