NAME
       Bio::Biblio::BiblioBase - An abstract base for other biblio classes

SYNOPSIS
	# do not instantiate this class directly

DESCRIPTION
       It is a base class where all other biblio data storage classes inherit from. It does not reflect any real-world object, it exists only for
       convenience, in order to have a place for shared code.

   new()
       The new() class method constructs a new biblio storage object.  It accepts list of named arguments - the same names as attribute names
       prefixed with a minus sign. Available attribute names are listed in the documentation of the individual biblio storage objects.

   Accessors
       All attribute names can be used as method names. When used without any parameter the method returns current value of the attribute (or
       undef), when used with a value the method sets the attribute to this value and also returns it back. The set method also checks if the type
       of the new value is correct.

   Custom classes
       If there is a need for new attributes, create your own class which usually inherits from Bio::Biblio::Ref. For new types of providers and
       journals, let your class inherit directly from this Bio::Biblio::BiblioBase class.
