Initializes a new publication for publishing metadata. Determines the publication type based on the provided layer IDs. A publication can only consist of layer IDs that have the same layer type. For example, you can have a publication for multiple layers of type versioned, but you cannot have a single publication that publishes to both versioned and volatile layers. In addition, you may only have one versioned publication in process at a time. The body field versionDependencies is optional and is used for versioned layers to declare version dependencies.
