TL;DR: Fauna Europaea is Europe's main zoological taxonomic index, making the scientific names and distributions of all living, currently known, multicellular, European land and freshwater animals species integrally available in one authoritative database.

TL;DR: The ViBRANT project will further strengthen the flexibility and power of virtual biodiversity working platforms by building software interfaces between them, thus facilitating essential information flows needed for comprehensive data exchange, data indexing, web-publication, and versioning.

TL;DR: Korotkova et al. as discussed by the authors presented a largely phylogeny-based online taxonomic backbone for the Cactaceae compiled from literature and online sources using the tools of the EDIT Platform for Cybertaxonomy.

TL;DR: The results of PESI are described and its future prospects are described, including the involvement in major European biodiversity informatics initiatives and programs.

TL;DR: This paper looks at the fundamental workflow issues the Cyberplatform is intended to address, then examines three of its main components from this workflow perspective, and looks at a pilot project for print publishing software, which aims to remove the final bottleneck in the taxonomic workflow.
