Wikipedia says, Portal may refers to- Portal (architecture), an entrance- Portal (fiction) a thing used to
transfer from one place to another
- Portal (band), an independent progressive metal band from Canada
The EU eJustice Portal should be the entrance toall EU-wide relevant topics on Justice. It shouldprovide personalized capabilities to their visitorsand should integrate distributed applicationsfrom a number of different sources.

portal interconnection (PI)
The idea of PI– decentralized user
authorization and authentication
– more than one portal (e.g. one per memberstate)
– portal-to-portal communicationprotocol
The access to applicationsis based on mutual trustbetween the participating (national) portals! -> PI agreement
