The thesis "E-Partizipation Virtual Ressourcen Portal" describes the conception and implementation of the Virtual Resource Centre (VRC), an international resource and knowledge portal for multidisciplinary research and application areas in the domain of eParticipation. The need for such a portal was developed in the context of the European DEMO_net project, the eParticipation network of excellence. The aim of this portal is to improve the spreading of the actual knowledge of the connected researchers and practitioner in the domain of eParticipation. For this, the collaboration and discussion with each other in different distributed projects will be improved and the results of the works will be published and saved. A well structured and an easy to handle portal is necessary therefore, as many connected institutions are not familiar with technological businesses. Further aims of the VRC are avoiding redundant developments to report excellent research facilities for the different subjects and to dynamically list the running projects in selectable categories. The technical base for the portal is a web content management system (WCMS), provided with many increments. To detect a suitable WCMS, the systems Plone, TYPO3 and Xoops are compared by a value benefit analyses. The special requirements for the VCR are fulfilled by the development and integration of increments, which include and provide the administration of publications, the overview of projects and research areas, etc. using an actual Web 2.0 functionality. This thesis is based on two different research methods, where the basic method design research is. Design research describes a compendium of how a portal can be modeled and realized in five phases. Another used method is the hypertext design model, which is used to build a model of the VRC. In the description of the implementation the changes in the WCMS, the user administration and the access control are explained as a guideline. In the conclusion of the thesis, an overview over the challenges and a recommendation for further developments and potential work is shown.
