Vortal : Vertical Internet Portal
by Mukesh Anand 01 Sep '07

Dear Members, On the Web, a Vortal (Vertical Industry Portal) is a website that provides a gateway or portal to info. related to a particular industry such as healthcare, insurance, automobile or food manufacturing. (A vertical industry is one that is focused on a relatively narrow range of goods & services, where as a horizontal industry is one that aims to produce a wide range of goods & services. Because most industry tends to specific, most industry tends to vertical) e.g. - http://www.cars.com (It's a platform for buying, selling & valuing cars of all makes). Source :-Muller, Jeanne Froidevaux / A Librarian's Guide to the Internet : searching & evaluating information. - Oxford (UK):Chandos,2003. - Page # 78-79.
