Package: taxize
Title: Taxonomic Information from Around the Web
Description: Interacts with a suite of web application programming
        interfaces (API) for taxonomic tasks, such as getting database
        specific taxonomic identifiers, verifying species names,
        getting taxonomic hierarchies, fetching downstream and upstream
        taxonomic names, getting taxonomic synonyms, converting
        scientific to common names and vice versa, and more. Some of
        the services supported include 'NCBI E-utilities'
        (<https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK25501/>), 'Encyclopedia
        of Life' (<https://eol.org/docs/what-is-eol/data-services>),
        'Global Biodiversity Information Facility'
        (<https://techdocs.gbif.org/en/openapi/>), and many more. Links
        to the API documentation for other supported services are
        available in the documentation for their respective functions
        in this package.
