Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method, the method comprising: identifying a portal page including two or more individual portal content components to be presented to a user, wherein each of the individual portal content components comprises a portal-related content technology; determining, using at least one computer, at least one possible connection between at least one pair of the two or more individual portal content components included in the portal page based, at least in part, on related portal content component metadata associated with each individual portal content component of the at least one pair, wherein the portal content component metadata includes a pre-defined output of a first portal content component and a pre-defined input of a second portal content component, and wherein determining the at least one possible connection between the at least one pair is based on determining a match between the pre-defined output of the first portal content component and the pre-defined input of the second portal content component; prioritizing, using the at least one computer, the at least one determined possible connection based, at least in part, on a combined set of at least one of the related portal content component metadata and a set of user-specific data; presenting at least a portion of the prioritized possible connections as suggested connections between the portal content components within the portal page; and providing a visual indication within the portal page identifying at least a portion of the pair of portal content components associated with at least one of the presented suggested connections, wherein the visual indication identifies at least two elements within each of the pair of portal content components associated with the at least one of the presented suggested connection, and wherein the at least two elements are associated with at least one of a pre-defined input or output of the respective portal content component.
