Portal

typically a WebApp or WebSite that aggregates a number of tools/applications and personalized content

for a while during the DotCom bubble, this was a key model which every niche website wanted to follow to build traffic/retention

Since then, it's probably more about providing an Enterprise Intranet tool - some way to bring together various content streams and applications that are used by employees
