datamuseum: Spatial and Taxonomic Data Utilities for Specimen Datasets

A management tool for specimen data ranging from public museum collections to private specimen repositories. The main types of data addressed are spatial (coordinates, longitude and latitude) and taxonomic data (ranking and nomenclature validity) with some additional options for user-determined dataset refinement. Combined or individual calls to the online repositories of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) via 'rgbif' and the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) via 'taxize' enable built-in taxonomic checks.
