'scientific names' found in 'canonical' property in graphdb #29

Description

I assume the 'canonical' property of a Page node in the graphdb is what GBIF calls 'canonicalName' and is meant to be a 'scientificName' (sensu TDWG) stripped of authority and year information. This assumption is based on the 'canonical' properties that I've examined, nearly all of which are 'canonical names'.

However there are a few 'canonical' properties that have 'scientificNames' as values. I believe these to be erroneous. I don't know what part of the system is responsible, but they shouldn't end up in the graphdb.

Here are some examples (with a few correct values for comparison):

page_id,parent_id,canonical
4524441,4523943,Copelemur tutus
4524442,4523943,Copelemur australotutus
