The Web CMS Report 2008 looks at... Composite Application Development

"Microsoft has made a significant investment in the Web Parts approach to integration. You should understand, however, that Web Parts (like their Java cousins, portlets) alone doth not a composite application make. A single Web Part exposing information from Repository X in one part of the page, collected with another Web Part exposing information from Repository Y in a different panel on the same page, is not a composite application -- it's your typical portal dashboard. A composite application attempts to mash up information, services, or processes from multiple different repositories and/or applications in a single, actionable view. "
