Installing obistools requires the devtools package:
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("iobis/obistools")match_taxa() performs interactive taxon matching with the World Register of Marine Species.
names <- c("Abra alva", "Buccinum fusiforme", "Buccinum fusiforme", "Buccinum fusiforme", "hlqsdkf")
match_taxa(names)3 names, 1 without matches, 1 with multiple matches

check_onland() uses the xylookup web service which internally uses land polygons from OpenStreetMap to check if any points are located on land. Other shapefiles can be used as well.

check_depth uses the xylookup web service to identify which records have potentially invalid depths. Multiple checks are performed in this function:
- missing depth column (warning)
- empty depth column (warning)
- depth values that can't be converted to numbers (error)
- values that are larger than the depth value in the bathymetry layer, after applying the provided depthmargin (error)
- depth values that are negative for off shore points, after applying the provided shoremargin (error)
- minimum depth greater than maximum depth (error)
