Hey Paul, I've been working with portal for a few years now too. I think it is same to say that there are definitely patterns. And that maybe those are along industry as well finance/insurance vs nonprofit or pharma. And also what the content is, you out of the box HR or HA stuff like benefits or finding a person or team or collaborating are all common not matter the industry.
Joe Lamantia has done a lot of writing about this. I saw someone posted a link to one of his articles. But check out others he has written for Boxes and Arrows as well as the this tag group on Delicious: http://delicious.com/tag/ia_building_blocks I for one would be very interested in this subject if you need to bounce further ideas. Good luck! John . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
