The people awareness feature of WebSphere® Portal allows users to collaborate with other users using person links.
WebSphere Portal includes the people awareness feature, which is provided by person links on JSP pages. Person links are hyper-links that allow users to contact people with whom they might want to work. Portal users can click the person link to display a menu of actions for collaborating (contacting and working) with the person defined by the link. Different actions appear, depending on how the collaboration software is configured and the online status of the person.
For more information, refer to the People awareness section of the WebSphere Portal Information Center.

When you add a Person Link to a JSP file, the workbench adds the following tags:
<%@taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tld/people.tld" prefix="pa"%> <pa:person attributes></pa:person>
