Parses the section from the XML returned from PubMed that contains information about a publication

A full list of publication types can be found here: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/pubtypes.html.

The Tripal Pub ontology doesn't yet have terms for all of the publication types so we store the value in the 'publication_type' term.

Parameters

$xml: The XML to parse

$pub: The publication object to which additional details will be added

This file provides support for importing and parsing of results from the NCBI PubMed database. The functions here are used by both the publication importer setup form and the publication importer.
