VERSION

SYNOPSIS

        # to be written

DESCRIPTION

        # to be written

METHODS

   new
   convert

INTERNAL METHODS

   _load_instance
   _new_instance
       Load a module (given as a real module name, e.g. 'Bio::Biblio::MedlineJournalArticle'), call new() method
       on it, and return the instance returned by the new() method

   _convert_date
       See OpenBQS specification (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~senger/openbqs/) how a date should be coded; TBD: this
       can be improved - checking is missing, timezones,
            converting to UTC...  Also note that this routine does not convert 'medline_date' - it is stored in
       a separate attribute without ant conversion.

   _convert_personal_name
       $person is a hash with persons attributes - we need to create and return a Bio::Biblio::Person object

   _convert_journal_article
       Takes journal article related attributes from $article and convert them into $result and at the end call
       _convert_article (which is shared with book article)

   _convert_book_article
       Takes book article related attributes from $article and convert them into $result and at the end call
       _convert_article (which is shared with journal article)

   _convert_article
       Takes from $source article related attributes and convert them into $article (these attributes are the
       same both for journal and book articles

   _convert_providers
       Takes a ref-array of providers - they can be persons or organisations, and returns an array of converted
       providers
