Blog
The blogs portlet in Liferay is used to implement the blog requirement for
OSDD. The blogs are confi gured to be accessed by authenticated users only
and are customized to get projects/ideas/laboratory notebook entries so that
users can link blogs to them. All blogs linked to projects, ideas, and laboratory
notebook entries are credited with points under microattribution.
20.4.7
Chat
The chat portlet is used out of the box and is part of all the pages by default.
This is confi gured to allow community members and other friends to be able
to chat with each other.
20.4.8
Forums
Liferay's message board portlet is used to implement the forum requirement
for OSDD. For every project, idea, and laboratory notebook entry created in
the corresponding system, a subcategory is created in Forum under the cor-
responding category—ideas/projects/laboratory notebooks. Contributions in
those forums that are under projects, ideas, and laboratory notebooks catego-
ries are considered for credit under microattribution. The idea/project/labora-
tory notebook entry and its forum created are linked at the database end. The
skills portlet effectively captures the skills and expertise of each and every
member of the sysborg2 family. A project manager initiating a project in
sysborg2 can search for team members with ease by just browsing through the
required skill sets in this portlet. Tracking people with a particular skill and
getting the entire skill set of a particular member are some of its salient
features.
The RDF API aggregates forum category, threads in the category, and mes-
sages in threads as individual objects and provides the relationship between
them.

Alerts/Announcements
The alerts and announcements portlets are used out of the box and are part
of a user's homepage. Only administrators are allowed to publish site-wide
alerts and announcements to all users. Community-wide alerts can be issued
by managers of that community.

Document Library
All the documents posted on any idea/project/open laboratory notebook
become a part of a document library, an out-of-the-box portlet in Liferay. It
has been customized to interface with other portlets and applications. For
