Re: citeline bugs?

In citeline, "publication type" lists the raw bibtex types, ie
"inproceedings", "techreport", etc.
I think that these should be replaced by actual english words.
The best way is to have a schema associated with the exhibit---a fixed
file listing english names for the values.

Here's a piece of mine with examples of what to do:

{
    types: {
        'Person': {
            pluralLabel: 'People'
        },
        'Publication': {
            pluralLabel: 'Publications'
        }
    },
    properties: {
        'confurl': {
            valueType: "url"
        },
        'powerpointURL': {
            valueType: "url"
        },
        'ps': {
            valueType: "url"
        },
        'pdf': {
            valueType: "url"
        },
        'psgz': {
            valueType: "url"
        },
        'download': {
            valueType: "url"
        },
        'author': {
            label: "author",
            pluralLabel: "authors",
            reverseLabel: "author of",
            reversePluralLabel: "authors of",
            groupingLabel: "their authors",
            reverseGroupingLabel: "their work"
        },
        'venue': {
            valueType: "item"
        },
        'cat': {
            label: "category",
            pluralLabel: "categories"
            },
        'pub-type': {
            label: "type",
            valueType: "item"
        }
    },
    items: [
           {
           id: 'incollection',
           label: "In a Book/Collection"
           },
           {
           id: 'inproceedings',
           label: "Conference Publication"
           },
           {
           id: 'article',
           label: "Journal Article"
           },
           {
           id: 'phdthesis',
           label: "PhD Thesis"
           },
           {
           id: 'techreport',
           label: "Technical Report"
           },
           {
           id: 'unpublished',
           label: "Manuscript"
           },
           {
           id: 'inproceedings',
           label: "In a Collection"
            },
