<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Thank you Tim and Roderic for your
responses.<br>
Roderic's suggested approach seems promising, but it would help us
to resolve anymals LSIDs only.<br>
In any case, we will need to know how the mapping between PESI and
GBIF names is done.<br>
<br>
We can also search using the scientific names only, but this could
lead the users to some misleadings. That is the reason we want to
use existing GUIDs to search for biodiversity data in the EU BON
data portal.<br>
<br>
With regards,<br>
Antonio.<br>

And while we’re at it, will someone please explain why every
biodiversity informatics project seems to feel that it is
essential that it produces its own identifiers, independently of
whatever has gone before. Simply contributing to the identifier
soup is not helpful.

Just to follow up on Tim’s response, as far as I can
tell from the EU BON taxonomic backbone, the LSID
referred to is provided by PESI
(e.g., urn:lsid:faunaeur.org:taxname:115091) and -
like many LSIDs - sadly doesn’t actually work (in the
sense that it can’t be resolved), see e.g. <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://darwin.zoology.gla.ac.uk/%7Erpage/lsid/tester/?q=urn%3Alsid%3Afaunaeur.org%3Ataxname%3A115091"

<div class="">
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt;
font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class="">
The PESI web site links names to GBIF, so PESI has a
mapping between their LSIDs and GBIF. One way to go
from a PESI LSID to GBIF would be if PESI provided
that mapping in their web services <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.eu-nomen.eu/portal/webservices.php"
style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;"

not clear to me that they do this.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

Alternatively, Fauna Europaea has been indexed by
GBIF (more than once!), so you could use the GBIF
API like this:<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

<div class="">
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt;
font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class="">
1. Given a LSID like
urn:lsid:faunaeur.org:taxname:115091, trim off the
“urn:lsid:faunaeur.org:taxname:” to leave “115091”<o:p
class=""></o:p></div>

2. Call the GBIF API with 115091 as the sourceId
key, and datasetKey as
