   Hi @namedgraph,
   
   > If the data is about the PDF file, can't you provide the URL of the PDF 
file as --base?
   
   In theory, yes, provided the PDF is always available from that location and 
never from any other location.
   
   However, people might download the PDF file and then access it from a local 
filesystem (or other variations on that usage-pattern).  After downloading, the 
PDF's URL would (quite likely) be lost.  (There is an extended attribute that 
could hold the URL, but it isn't uniformly supported.)
   
   I think it would be better if the embedded metadata would reference the PDF 
contents, independently of where the PDF file is located.  The XMP standard 
seems to achieve this by using the empty relative URI as the subject IRI.  This 
"works", but is a bit messy when generating the RDF/XML data.
