  • fetch data from diff. wikipedias (commons, species, wikidata, etc.)
  • fetch certain types of taxonomic data: common names, taxonomic names, etc.
  • get wikipedia/commons/etc. IDs if any (maybe they use names as IDs?)
  • get taxonomic hierarchy
  • search by taxonomic name
  • search by common name

anything else?

opening new issue for common name search for next milestone -> #8
