Paul,

This quote caught my attention, from their home page:

"Building Bridges
The scientific article has been described as a _Story That Persuades 
With Data_, but all too often the link between data and narrative is 
lost somewhere in the modern publishing process. Utopia Documents helps 
to rebuild these connections, linking articles to underlying datasets, 
and making it easy to access online resources relating to an article's 
content."

Thus, I assume this means that there is a hook for URIs that resolve to 
data contextualized by PDFs, right?
