From any 'string' representing a scientific name, we shall be able to get the 'standardized' name and authorship. It's also possible to build the species name from the scientific name (at least for plants). Scientific names can be very complex so please comment the issue with some scenario.

The parsing will only ensure that the name is well formed and will not check if the scientific name exists.
The parsing should use GBIF Name Parser.

The parsing could also use the GN Biodiversity gem developed by Dimitry Mozzherin, https://github.com/GlobalNamesArchitecture/biodiversity capable of operating as a socket server. I suggest a common test file: https://github.com/GlobalNamesArchitecture/biodiversity/blob/master/spec/parser/test_data.txt
