Description: It brings together several aspects of biodiversity
        data-cleaning in one place. 'bdc' is organized in thematic
        modules related to different biodiversity dimensions, including
        1) Merge datasets: standardization and integration of different
        datasets; 2) pre-filter: flagging and removal of invalid or
        non-interpretable information, followed by data amendments; 3)
        taxonomy: cleaning, parsing, and harmonization of scientific
        names from several taxonomic groups against taxonomic databases
        locally stored through the application of exact and partial
        matching algorithms; 4) space: flagging of erroneous, suspect,
        and low-precision geographic coordinates; and 5) time: flagging
        and, whenever possible, correction of inconsistent collection
        date. In addition, it contains features to visualize, document,
        and report data quality – which is essential for making data
        quality assessment transparent and reproducible. The reference
        for the methodology is Ribeiro and colleagues (2022)
