Abstract
This research makes an attempt to look into the current activities taking place among Sri Lanka and create a web portal to link these institutes So that they can share information. It also attempts to disseminate such information among the various personnel involved in research work and make a good coordinating point (Web Portal) to share their newly acquired information for their advantage./

This has been a major issue because they are not aware of others* work and standards. This is a waste of money, time and human resources./
This project addresses the need to integrate various Biotechnology communities into an online application where information is shared among users in Biotechnology communities as well as other authorized personnel in the community in a secure and accurate manner./

Requirements gathered during extended discussions with stakeholders included those from the Government, Semi-government and the Private sector organizations. In this task, a series of interviews were conducted and questionnaires were used to gather requirements/comments. Then the study was done to find out more, with respect to history, various types, features of Web portals and future trends. Vortals are also introduced.
At the design stage, the client side, the server-side and the database design were finalized. All the design stage decisions, tools and technology selections were justified. During the Development stage, all the coding and documentation for the
