Abstract

This chapter addresses the lack of consistency and comparability in content management. We provide a solution to this problem and propose a conceptual specification of a generic portal structure that allows for semantic standardization of content. The structure and semantics of textual descriptions must be customized for given application scenarios, so we demonstrate such a customization for an exemplary research portal. In the example we address design science research and describe a research process that uses the customized portal definition. We conclude that our approach can increase the consistency and comparability of content in general through (1) an individually customizable system structure that reflects the nature of a specific application scenario better than generic structures can and (2) a semantic standardization of textual descriptions that forces the portal users to be precise and compact in their descriptions and to consistently apply the vocabulary of the domain.
