   By default, it will go to the MEDLINE database running at EBI, using
Web Service protocol. The protocol itself is hidden, but this
implementtaion has more methods than the others - for example you can get
also a list of available attributes that can be used in the search. The
details about this module is best to find by running
   scripts/biblio/biblio.PLS -h

   Actually, soap is the oldest one, this was the first module for
fetching biblio information.

   Cheers,
