Hello, every monday NCBI releases a new version of taxon names, merged nodes etc. A scientific name of a taxon might be changed someday. If a TaxonFactory only allowes to search for a taxon by scientific name which is the case at the moment at least for SimpleTaxonFactory, we might lose information, if we want to perform a database update for example. I would like to suggest to extend this for the NCBI-Taxon ID so that we can consider changed names properties. By the way, one does not easily understand that the parameter called 'String id' is the 'scientific name' in reality. I would like to suggest to change that.
