About:
The Scout Portal Toolkit (SPT) is a turnkey software package that allows groups or organizations who have collections of knowledge or resources they want to share via the Web to put that collection online without a big investment in technical resources. It includes keyword and fielded search engines, a recommender system, a metadata editor, user agents (push technology to notify users of new resources), forums (bulletin boards), resource quality ratings, resource annotations by users, and support for multiple dynamic user interfaces, selectable on a per-user basis.

[»] Scout Portal Toolkit
by John McKeown - Jun 18th 2003 04:39:16

Specialised system for collections of data about resources,
like a Yahoo but conforming to international and academic
standards for metatdata. The only system of its kind I've
seen that doesn't require you to own a server.

Highly Recommended.
