Typically a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwSGf75wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">WebPortal</a> has a catalog of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvz7_25wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">WorldWideWebSite</a>s, a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwP3mbZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SearchEngine</a>, or both. A <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwSGf75wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">WebPortal</a> may also be a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv0XONZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">EMailServiceProvider_WebBased</a> and offer other services to entice people to use that site as their main 'point of entry' (hence 'portal') to the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVnZe5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Internet</a>. Some major general portals include Yahoo, Excite, Netscape, Lycos, CNET, Microsoft Network, and America Online's AOL.com. web portal portals web portals Web portal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_portal PersonalizableWebPortal customized portal A collection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwSGf75wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">WebPortal</a>s that permit the user to personalize or customize the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwSGf75wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">WebPortal</a> for his own interests or needs. The <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwCSYZpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PersonalizableWebPortal</a> often has a different homepage from the main homepage of a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwP3mbZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SearchEngine</a>. For example, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvWpa15wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Yahoo_SearchEngine</a> has different homepage from 'My Yahoo', which is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwCSYZpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PersonalizableWebPortal</a>. Yet, the instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwCSYZpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PersonalizableWebPortal</a> are not collections of individualized <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwSGf75wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">WebPortal</a>s. For example, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvYPBR5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Yahoo_PersonalizableWebPortal</a> is not a collection containing Roland's MyYahoo or Michael's MyYahoo. Instead, to create Roland's MyYahoo one would assert that Roland's MyYahoo is a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwSGf75wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">WebPortal</a> and is <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwETU9JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">derivedConceptualWork</a> from <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwCSYZpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PersonalizableWebPortal</a>. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvz7_25wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">WorldWideWebSite</a> is the subset of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rJtdTVoJNQdeOqaFkQvl7dw" class="cyc_term">WebSite</a>s accessible from the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvWQvpJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">WorldWideWeb_DynamicIndexedInfoSource</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvz7_25wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">WorldWideWebSite</a> is composed of a homepage and zero or more additional instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvXJevZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">WebPage_CW</a> connected by hyperlinks to the site's homepage. A <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvz7_25wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">WorldWideWebSite</a> is maintained by a single webmaster or group of webmasters, and is thematically unified in some way, often as an individual's or corporation's 'presence' on the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvWQvpJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">WorldWideWeb_DynamicIndexedInfoSource</a>. A <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvz7_25wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">WorldWideWebSite</a> is designed with the intention that a visitor will enter the site via its homepage, and navigate to other pages in the site via hyperlinks.

A <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwSGf75wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">WebPortal</a> may also be a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv0XONZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">EMailServiceProvider_WebBased</a> and offer other services to entice people to use that site as their main 'point of entry' (hence 'portal') to the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVnZe5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Internet</a>.
