The Portal - technology behind it
How we think:• Decentralise as much as possible
• Store as little personal data as possible• Security and privacy by design
• Distributed architecture – scalability in view of growth• Proven commercial off-the-shelf products (J2EE - JBoss,
MySQL/Oracle, Alfresco CMS)
How we communicate:• Service-oriented architecture (SOA) - XML, SOAP/WSDL web-
services (or potentially CORBA)
