abstract: Standardizes taxonomic names by matching species names to entries in a user-supplied
  reference taxonomy, then resolving synonyms to their accepted names. Fuzzy matching
  on parsed name components (genus, epithet, author, infraspecific rank, etc.) allows
  for orthographic differences between the query and reference names. This facilitates
  reproducible joining of datasets that use different taxonomic synonyms for the same
  species.
