Among those Web applications, the Web portals are of special interest. Basically, a portal is a Web site collecting related information and/or services from different sources. It is intended to provide features such as personalization, integration of applications and business intelligence, notification (push technology), and infrastructure functionality (Winkler, 2005). Due to their intrinsic advantages, Web portals are becoming an essential support for the activities of lots of organizations, companies and public institutions.
