title: 'wcvpmatch: Taxonomic Name Reconciliation Against the ''WCVP'' Backbone'
version: 0.0.1
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.wcvpmatch
abstract: Standardizes and reconciles scientific plant names against a World Checklist
  of Vascular Plants ('WCVP')-style taxonomic backbone. The package parses names into
  taxonomic components and applies staged exact and fuzzy matching for binomial and
  trinomial inputs, including infraspecific rank-aware checks. It also returns accepted-name
  context and row-level matching flags to support reproducible, auditable preprocessing
  for downstream biodiversity, spatial, and trait analyses. A user-supplied backbone
  can be passed through 'target_df'; when the optional companion package 'wcvpdata'
  is installed, its default checklist can also be used.
