Abstract
This paper discusses an evolution of exploratory portal for an advanced and easy construction of an exploratory portal, through a simplification of the data loading process by a modeling of complex taxonomies. The main requirement for achieving this goal has been to make the schema-driven portal through a modeling of taxonomy, the data and the portal layout on Excel. A framework is proposed in which we implement an application that can build the exploratory portal from this Excel model. We have validated the portal population process, first “in vitro”, then “in vivo”.
