Title: A Lightweight and Lightning-Fast Taxonomic Naming Interface
Description: 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.
