Comments
Comments on data structure
 * The presentation of the researcher portfolio will be in the CONE Service, as this portfolio may contain informations from various escidoc solutions (at the moment only from PubMan).
 * The GUI (css) of the researcher portfolio presentation should be escidoc specific, but well distinguishable from PubMan.
 * The presentation of the researcher portfolio will be in English, an extra page in CONE service will be needed to provide a translation of the researcher portfolio in e.g. japanese letters.
 * NIMS wants it to be visible on the researcher profile who last modified it and when.
 * There will be an alphabetic sorting for the displayed org units (if a person belongs to more than one org unit).
