Jeremy, I wanted to bring to your attention the PDF and Open Data CG [1]. One of the things we’re working on is embedding CSVW in PDFs, which should actually be a fairly straight-forward application. PDFs inherently have the ability to have attached files, and there is a URI scheme for PDF 2.0 that will allow them to be addressed using fragments. As PDFs are widely used for sharing scientific data, having the ability to actually attach the data, and describe it using CSVW Metadata would be a good thing. Of course, attaching files is not restricted to CSV, and arbitrary Turtle or JSON-LD could also be attached. This is similar to the use of the script tag in HTML. The group’s could use more participation from publishers in the community who are interested in such use cases. Just thought you might like to know.
