Version 1.1.1
- Fixed issue with some EED data fields missing when loaded in
Version 1.1
- Implements standard web service, as being implemented by US EPA
- Fixed bugs caused by 'invalid characters' in abstracts copied/pasted from PDFs
- Made citation details section collapsible
- Added 'comment' column into evidence listing, to show tags/keywords assigned in EED

Bug fixes: - importing evidence from one paper for multiple linkages was causing conflicts - added more tooltips and corrected some UI quirks (usability issues) - added ability to show/hide citation details
