What is PESI?
• Joint initiative of two Networks of Excellence: EDIT and MarBEF
• Funded by the European Commission (May 2008 – April 2011)
• Led by the University of Amsterdam • Partnership of 40 institutions in 26
countries with the aim to define and coordinate strategies to enhance the quality and reliability of European biodiversity information

Three pan-European species checklists to begin with:
• European Register of Marine Species
(ERMS)- More than 30.000 valid (accepted) names
• Euro+Med plantbase (E+M) - More than 50.000 accepted (valid) names
• Fauna Europaea (FaEu)- More than 175.000 valid (accepted) names

The EDIT Common Data Model
• follows the TDWG Ontology • supports all nomenclature codes• fulfills the data domains’ requirements

• provides a large library for tools ande-services:
- Import and export routines
- Data integrity checker
- Taxonomic Editor

Integrity Checker
• Level 1 - Syntax of terms (e.g. syntax of scientific names and URLs)
• Level 2 - Structural integrity (e.g. completeness of name or reference objects)
• Level 3 - Relational integrity (e.g. taxon relations)
• Level 4 - Dataset integrity (e.g. classifications in checklists)

Checklist overlap and integrity
• Identify overlap between taxonomic groups in ERMS and Fauna Europaea
• Identify nomenclatural deviations
• Identify status conflicts
• Identify classification conflicts
