Portal

Description
The World Data Center for Marine and Environmental Sciences (WDC-MARE) with its information system PANGAEA provides data portals for several EU projects (EUR-OCEANS, CARBOOCEAN) and will support existing metadata portals (e.g. GCMD) to disseminate its data/metadata for widespread use.


 * Software used to provide portals: panFMP
 * First portal implemented by this software: http://dataportal.carboocean.org/

The webservice supplied by the harvester/lucene software and used by the PHP applications in the data portals can be found at: http://ws.pangaea.de/portal-DIF/axis

For portals the suggest functionality will be included as already demonstrated in the CarboOceans portal. The user is supported in finding certain expressions when typing words to search for. Pangaea uses the open source software Yahoo YUI for this with AJAX as technique similar to the functionality first implement by Google suggest.
