Goals
-----
I had a few ideas for this package:
- [x] support all constructs of the original package (including Subject, which wasn't implemented before)
- [ ] comply with the PDF/A standard (which has its quircks, like allowing at most one dc:creator in PDF/A-1)
- [x] allow the author's URI to be embedded as dcterms:creator
- [x] embed a subset of the PRISM vocabulary in XMP in the PDF/A prescribed way (partially complete)
- [ ] embed (subsets of) the FaBiO and CiTO ontologies in XMP in the PDF/A prescribed way
- [ ] use XMP to embed a layout style-independent and machine readable reference list
- [ ] provide a construct (macro, or a program) to convert BibTeX to PRISM+CiTO statements in XMP
- [ ] be a reference implementation for connecting PDF documents created from LaTeX to the Semantic Web/Web of Data :)
