Abstract
A project was initiated in 2006 to compile a draft global checklist of the Compositae plant family by integrating existing electronic checklists. A Checklist Integrator Tool (C-INT) was developed. C-INT provides an editorial interface alongside managed and automated workflows for the importation and integration of multiple checklists. A number of technical issues were encountered and addressed during the project, including the requirement to maintain provided data values, difficulties integrating data updates, issues with integrating relational data, and computational efficiency.
