Hi Chris, I started something a while back to automate building a SQLite version of the backbone taxonomy ( https://github.com/ropensci/gbif-backbone-sql) but it's not quite done yet. Idea is to run on Heroku (e.g., once a day), resulting in a fresh SQLite version of the backbone taxonomy on Amazon S3.
