  Have a look at BioInterchange: http://www.biointerchange.org

  One of the supported formats is output from PDFx (
http://pdfx.cs.man.ac.uk/), which we turn into RDF N-Triples. We make use
of Dublin Core and the Semanticscience Integrated Ontology. Geraint (CC'd
here) did the actual implementation.

  We are currently writing up a paper on BioInterchange. I can send you a
draft of it, if you consider using it as a framework for RDFization.

Best wishes,
