As Martynas says, RDF is defined in terms of absolute URIs.
It is MUCH better to invent a base like "http://myBase/";.
For Trig, IRI resolution relative the base is always done and there is
always a base, RIOT will insert http://base reading from an input stream
for TriG.
The only bypass is to read in N-Quads from an input stream.
BUT if you get relative URIs into the dataset, don't expect everything
else to work seamlessly. e.g. SPARQL - in syntax, relative URIs are
resolved.

is it possible to explicitly set a base when loading the dataset ?

You cannot. RDF data model is based on absolute URIs.

I have a dataset in a trig file with resources having relative iris, when

are converted to absolute iris, how can I prevent this, I want them to
retain their relative IRIs ?
