See also user customization and personalization
application role
Roles that are specific to a particular application and are stored in an application-specific stripe of the policy store.
application skin
Specifies the WebCenter Spaces application background color, screen fonts, and, with some skins, the shapes and images used for application buttons and icons. The WebCenter Spaces administrator chooses the default application skin. WebCenter users may change the application skin on the General tab of the Preferences dialog.
application templates
WebCenter provides templates for creating two kinds of applications: WebCenter Portal applications and WebCenter Portlet Producer applications. Templates ensure that the right technology scopes are set, tag libraries added, and required Java classes are added to the class path. Once you do this, relevant components are included to the Component Palette and relevant context menus become available in JDeveloper.
authenticated user
A user who is logged into a WebCenter Portal application. Credentials of this user are verified against the identity store. By default, an authenticated user can access public information. To access secured information, such as pages and portlets, this user must be authorized through the policy and credential store.
Contrast with public users, who are not logged in, and can access public content only.
authentication
Identification of a user through an identity management system. You can require ADF authentication to enforce credentials for users to access the WebCenter application only (all ADF resources in the application remain accessible), or authentication and authorization to enforce credentials for users to access the WebCenter application and any ADF resources that have been secured in the application.
authorization
The policies that define the access rights of an individual or group to a secured resource. This resource may be a page or component within a page.
authorized user
An individual who has access to a secured resource. For non-public resources, this individual is also an authenticated user.
blog page
A page that provides a personal record of an individual user's experience and opinions. There are two kinds of blog: personal blogs are written by an individual; group blogs are written by several users.
Box layout component

For designers of WebCenter portal applications, this is the runtime equivalent of a Panel Customizable component.
BPEL
Business Process Execution Language. An XML-based markup language for composing a set of discrete web services into an end-to-end process flow.
business role page
A page, created by the WebCenter Spaces administrator, specifically provided for a given role in an organization. Business role pages provide a targeted environment for users of a particular role by delivering information that is timely and relevant to individual roles without the noise of irrelevant information from other lines of business. Business role pages appear in the personal Spaces of users classified under the specified role.
caching
The act of storing frequently accessed information, typically web pages, in a location where it can be accessed quickly to avoid frequent content generation.
See also expiry-based caching and validation-based caching.
Change Mode Button component

Content Presenter
A feature of the Documents service that enables end users to select and search content items and then display those items using available display templates. Oracle WebCenter provides out-of-the-box templates for displaying single and multiple content items on your pages. You can also define custom templates for the content that you want to display in your WebCenter Portal application, or for selection by end users at runtime.
content repository
A specialized storage and management mechanism that provides such features as author-based versioning, full text searching, and content categorization and attribution. A content repository is optimized for storing unstructured information, which differentiates it from a data repository.
content repository data control
A data control sourced though a content repository. In a WebCenter Portal application, you can create content repository data controls for the following content repositories: Oracle Portal, Oracle Universal Content Management, third-party repositories that support the Java Content Repository (JCR) standard, and your local file system.
credential provisioning page
A JSF (*.jspx) page used for authenticating to an external application. At runtime, the Credential Provisioning page displays login data fields consisting of the data fields specified through external application registration. Login information is passed to the producer, which in turn passes the login values to the external application. The application provides the producer with the requested portlets.
After authentication, the user's login credentials are preserved in a credential store, which subsequently supplies that information at future sessions. Unless his information changes, the user supplies his credentials only one time.
credential store
Provides storage for login credentials for its associated domain. It also preserves the login credentials that a user provides for authentication to an external application. Credential store is usually combined with the policy store as a single logical store.
Although the credentials stored in the credential store are used during subsequent logins for authentication, the main function of this store is to provide authorization for those accounts.
CSS
Cascading Style Sheet. A simple mechanism for ensuring a consistent look and feel or adding style, such as fonts, colors, and spacing, to web documents.
custom action
Icons or menu items rendered on the header or the Actions menu of a Show Detail Frame component surrounding a task flow. Custom actions can represent actions that were defined in the task flow when it was created. For example, at design time a developer can build a task flow with custom personalization settings. At runtime, users can access these settings through icons or Actions menu items provided in the task flow's surrounding chrome (or Show Detail Frame).
custom attribute
Specifies Space information in addition to that provided by the built-in attributes. Custom attributes can be used to determine the content of the components in a Space based on the parameter passed in. For example, a component can display data for a specific customer by passing in the customer ID. A custom attribute is simply a name value pair, for example customerId=400, orderId=11, userName=Smith, and so on. Custom attributes are stored within the Space template.
custom display template
A Content Presenter display template is a JSFF file (JSF page fragment) that defines how Content Presenter renders content items on a WebCenter application page. WebCenter provides several out-of-the-box display templates to get you started, or, you can create your own templates.

default language (application-level)
A display language specified by the WebCenter Spaces administrator that is used when users log in to WebCenter Spaces. The WebCenter Spaces administrator sets the application-level default language on the General tab of the Administration page. Individual users can set their own user-level default language on the General tab of the Preferences dialog.
default language (user preference)
A user-specified display language that is rendered when the user logs in to WebCenter Spaces. This language selection lasts until the user specifies a different default language. It can be overridden by a session language, but returns as the default when the session cookie is purged or expires. This value is set on the General tab of the Preferences dialog.
default resource catalog
The resource catalog that is provided by default for an application. It contains all of the Oracle ADF components and portlets available to the application.
Contrast with custom resource catalog.
delegated administration
Provides a mechanism for securing portal resources based on user roles. You apply delegated administration to a page hierarchy, and the specific security assignments are automatically propagated down through the hierarchy through pages and sub pages.

Movable Box layout component
An Oracle Composer layout component. A container that enables the placement of content on a WebCenter Spaces page. Movable Boxes, along with their content, can be moved around on the page. For designers of WebCenter portal applications, this is the runtime equivalent of Show Detail Frame component.
MVC
Model-View-Controller. A classic design pattern often used by applications that need the ability to maintain multiple views of the same data. The MVC pattern hinges on a clean separation of objects into one of three categories: models for maintaining data, views for displaying all or a portion of the data, and controllers for handling events that affect the model or views. Because of this separation, multiple views and controllers can interface with the same model. Even new types of views and controllers that never existed before, such as portlets, can interface with a model without forcing a change in the model design.
My Spaces page
A predefined page that displays a list of all the Spaces available to the currently logged in user. The user can select from the Show menu to display All Spaces, only Spaces of which the user is a member (Joined by Me), or only Spaces of which the user is the moderator (Moderated by Me).

Oracle WebLogic Portal
WebLogic Portal enables you to provide a user interface to integrate your applications. WebLogic Portal lets you surface application data and functionality from heterogeneous environments into an integrated, dynamic, and customizable web-based portal user interface that can simultaneously support multiple devices. In addition to a powerful portal framework and its J2EE security foundation, WebLogic Portal provides many business services, such as content management, communities, personalization, search, and user management. WebLogic Portal provides a virtual content repository that lets you federate external content management systems into a single management interface. You can then build portals using content in those external resource. WebLogic Portal also provides a WLP content repository for creating and managing content.
Page Customizable component
A component provided in the Oracle Composer tag library that defines the editable area of a page at runtime. Within this area, users can edit properties for a component, add content to the page, arrange content, and so on.
page hierarchy
A model that associates pages in a parent-child relationship, where any page can have one or more sub pages. This parent-child model not only helps define the overall structure of the portal, but also allows child pages to inherit the security policies from their parent.
page parameter
A parameter associated with a page that can be used to store values that can then be passed to the components on the page. It also enables your page to take values through its URL. Page parameters are defined using the <parameter> tag at the top of your PageDef.xml. You can bind page parameters to your page variables.
Page Properties
A dialog, accessed from Oracle Composer, that provides access to a page's display options, security settings, and parameters.
page scheme
Determines the background image used in the page. WebCenter Spaces provides several default page schemes and an option for specifying a custom page scheme.
page style
Determines the initial page structure, for example one column or two column. Some default page styles also include the task flows, components, and page properties useful for a particular purpose. For example, a page created using the Text page style includes a Text layout component.
page template
Lets you specify view elements that you intend to be common to all of your pages. A page template file is a JSPX file that includes ADF layout components and other elements. Typically, page templates define a page layout, with headers, footers, and content areas. In addition, the page template usually specifies the positioning and style of the navigation UI for your pages.
page variable
A variable that binds your public portlet parameter to the page. Page variables are defined within the <variableIterator> of your PageDef.xml. One page variable can be bound to multiple public portlet parameters.
Panel Customizable component
A component provided in the Oracle Composer tag library that provides a container region for a group of Oracle ADF components and portlets that are customizable at runtime. Any Show Detail Frame components and portlets added as child components to a Panel Customizable component can be moved or maximized with the Panel Customizable component.
parameter
A variable that controls the default behavior of task flow content and facilitates the wiring of a task flow to page parameters and page definition variables.
parent component
A component that contains other components, such as a Box layout component that contains task flows. The Box is the parent component of the task flows. In contrast, the task flows are the Box's child components.
See also Child Components.
participant

A common interface (that is, a web page) that provides a personalized, single point of interaction with web-based applications and information relevant to individual users or class of users.
portal application life cycle
The process of creating and testing a portal application in a design time environment, deploying it to a production system, and then performing routine maintenance, such as monitoring performance and migrating customization data. The life cycle of an application also includes performing further enhancements, restaging, and then redeploying the application to the production system.
portlet
A reusable web component that can draw content from many different sources. Portlets can display excerpts of other web sites, generate summaries of key information, perform searches, and access assembled collections of information from a variety of data sources. Because different portlets can be placed on a common page, the user receives a single-source experience, even though the content may be derived from multiple sources. Portlet resources include the many prebuilt portlets available out of the box and programmatic portlets built through WebCenter's JSR 286, PDK-Java Portlet wizards, and other portlet building tools.
portlet event
A JSR 286 feature that allows portlets to react to actions or state changes not directly related to an interaction of the user with the portlet.
portlet filter
A JSR 286 feature that allows on-the-fly transformations of information in both the request to and the responses from a portlet. A portlet filter is a reusable piece of code that can transform the content of portlet requests and portlet responses.
portlet mode
The ways by which a portlet can be called to display information. These methods include:
Portlet Producer Application template
An application template, provided by JDeveloper, for creating an application with the recommended projects and technology scopes required for developing portlets. The Portlet Producer Application template consists of a single project scoped for portlet creation (Portlets).
See also WebCenter Portal Application template and producer.
predefined page
A page created by WebCenter Spaces to perform a specific function. Examples of predefined pages include, Welcome pages, Search pages, and Documents pages.
Predeployment Tool
A utility for WebCenter Portal applications that assists you in configuring your target system with the new producer registrations you have added to your application in Oracle JDeveloper. You must run this utility before deploying your application. You can also use this utility after deployment to migrate metadata from stage to production, for example, to export and import your customizations. This tool also enables you to define the MDS repository location to allow run-time customizations to be migrated.
private parameter
A portlet parameter that is known only to the portlet itself and has no connection to the page on which the portlet resides.
Contrast with public parameter.
producer
A communication link between portlet consumers (such as a WebCenter Portal application or a portal). When a consumer application renders a portlet, it calls the producer of that portlet, which in turn executes the portlet and returns the results in the form of portlet content. A producer can contain one or more portlets. A portlet can be contained by only one producer.
Oracle WebCenter supports two types of producers:
Oracle PDK-Java producers: Deployed to a Java EE application server, which is often remote and communicates through Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) over HTTP.
Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP): A web services standard that enables the plug-and-play of visual, user-facing web services with portals or other intermediary web applications. Being a standard, WSRP enables interoperability between a standards-enabled container based on a particular language (such as JSR 286, .NET, Perl) and any WSRP portal. A portlet (regardless of language) deployed to a WSRP-enabled container can be rendered in any application that supports this standard.

resource
Items users can manage through the Resource Manager, like page templates, skins, task flows, navigations, and so on. WebCenter Spaces categorizes resources under the following categories: Structure, Look and Layout, and Mashups.
Resource Action Handling framework
Enables services that expose custom resources to be viewed, searched, and tagged.
Resource Catalog
A catalog that provides a federated view of one or more otherwise unrelated repositories in a unified search and browse user interface. Resources are created and published in their source repository and are then exposed to the developer in JDeveloper's Resource Palette and to the end user in the Resource Catalog Viewer. Resource catalogs can contain layout components, Oracle ADF components, portlets, service task flows, and documents.
Resource Index
The starting point for accessing WebCenter REST APIs. Sending a GET request to the Resource Index URI returns a list of links to entry points for all available services.
Resource Manager
Enables users with the appropriate privileges to continue developing the portal after the application has been deployed. Using the Resource Manager users can also download runtime portal resources (from WebCenter Portal applications and WebCenter Spaces) and import them into Oracle JDeveloper for further development. These resources can then be exported from JDeveloper and uploaded back into the deployed application.
resource type
Defines the type of resource that a WebCenter REST API link identifies. Use resource types to determine the response bodies for GET requests and allowable request bodies for POST and PUT. Also use resourceType attributes on entities to uniquely identify their type.
REST APIs
Oracle WebCenter provides a set of web-based REST (REpresentational State Transfer) APIs for retrieving and modifying server data dynamically from the client. REST APIs are available for Discussions service, People Connections service, and WebCenter Spaces.
Reverse Proxy Server
A server process that hides the physical location of internal servers by exposing the servers as a single public site. Requests to the public site are routed to the appropriate internal server.
Round-trip development
Round-trip development refers to features and techniques that allow you to retrieve resources from a deployed, runtime portal back to JDeveloper for maintenance or enhancement. After modifying a resource in JDeveloper, you can use the Resource Manager to upload the resource back to the deployed portal. WebCenter's round-trip development features provide a simple, convenient way to modify portal resources without redeploying the entire application.

servlet
A Java program that usually runs on a Web server, extending the web server's functionality. HTTP servlets take client HTTP requests, generate dynamic content (such as through querying a database), and provide an HTTP response.
session language
A display language specified by the user that remains in effect for the life of the session cookie (from log on to log off). If the user clears browser cookies, the display language reverts to the user-level default language, if specified, then to the application-level default language set by the WebCenter Spaces administrator. Set the session language in the Change Language pop-up, accessible from the Welcome page.
Shared Screen mode
A portlet mode that renders the body of the portlet and enables you to display a portlet on a page that can contain other portlets. Every portlet must have at least a Shared Screen mode.
See also View mode.
Show Detail Frame component
A component provided in the Oracle Composer tag library that renders a border or chrome around the child component. It provides a header with an Actions menu and thereby providers user interface (UI) controls to customize the display of the child component. However, to customize the display of the child component, the Show Detail Frame component must be included inside a Panel Customizable component.
Show Details Page mode
A portlet mode that provides full-browser display of the portlet. For example, a portlet in Show Page mode could be limited to displaying only the ten most recently submitted expense reports, while the same portlet in Show Details Page mode could show all submissions.
Contrast with Show Page mode.
Show Page mode
A portlet mode that provides a smaller portlet display to allow space for additional portlets and other objects in the browser window. For example, a portlet in Show Page mode could be limited to displaying only the ten most recently submitted expense reports, while the same portlet in Show Details Page mode could show all submissions.
Contrast with Show Details Page mode.
similarity calculation
