taxalight: A Lightweight and Lightning-Fast Taxonomic Naming Interface
Creates a local Lightning Memory-Mapped Database ('LMDB')
of many commonly used taxonomic authorities
and provides functions that can quickly query this data.
Supported taxonomic authorities include
the Integrated Taxonomic Information System ('ITIS'),
National Center for Biotechnology Information ('NCBI'),
Global Biodiversity Information Facility ('GBIF'),
Catalogue of Life ('COL'), and Open Tree Taxonomy ('OTT').
Name and identifier resolution using 'LMDB' can
be hundreds of times faster than either relational databases or
internet-based queries. Precise data provenance information for
data derived from naming providers is also included.
