1. A familiar and growing challenge in ecological and evolutionary research is that of establishing consistent taxonomy when combining data from separate sources. While this problem is already well understood and numerous naming authorities have been created to address the issue, most researchers lack a fast, consistent, and intuitive way to retrieve taxonomic names.
2. We present taxadb R package which creates a local database, managed automatically from within R, to provide fast operations on millions of taxonomic names.
3. taxadb provides access to established naming authorities to resolve synonyms, taxonomic identifiers, and hierarchical classification in a consistent and intuitive data format.
4. taxadb makes operation on millions of taxonomic names fast and manageable.

taxadb：高性能的本地分类数据库接口

1. 在生态学和进化研究中，一个熟悉且不断增长的挑战是，在合并来自不同来源的数据时，要建立一致的分类法。尽管已经很好地理解了这个问题，并且已经创建了许多命名机构来解决此问题，但是大多数研究人员仍缺乏快速，一致且直观的检索分类名称的方法。
2. 我们提供taxadb R软件包，该软件包创建一个本地数据库，该数据库可从R内部自动进行管理，以对数百万个分类名称进行快速操作。
3. 使用taxadb，可以以一致且直观的数据格式访问已建立的命名机构，以解析同义词，分类标识符和层次分类。
4. taxadb使对数百万个分类名称的操作变得快速且易于管理。
