A new EU FP7 project - Pan-European Species-directories Infrastructure - PESI aims to integrate taxonomic and nomenclature services in Europe through integrating the three main all-taxon registers in Europe, namely:

• The European Register of Marine Species (ERMS),
• Fauna Europaea,
• Euro + Med Plantbase,

in coordination with EU-based nomenclators and the network of EU-based Global Species Databases. It is a standards based, quality controlled, expert validated, open-access infrastructure for research, education and resource management.
