How can TDMRep be used in PDF?

Dear TDMRep community,

There was a recent notice from W3C that this community group might automatically close soon, so this seems like the time to get a question in for this group. I work for a publisher that distributes content in multiple formats including web pages, EPub, and PDF. The PDF format is still very popular among our readers. The PDF files that we publish contain embedded XMP metadata that provides the title, authors, digital object identifier (DOI), version (using NISO JAV terminology), copyright, and license information. In considering a possibility of someday having to implement TDMRep for our content, the TDMRep Final Community Report shows how TDMRep metadata can be encoded in HTML meta tags which could be used in web pages and EPub files. It is unclear as to whether, or how, TDMRep metadata can be encoded in RDF XML to be included in the XMP metadata of a PDF file. Is this use case far outside of the intended scope of TDMRep? If this is a reasonable use of TDMRep, can you provide any guidance on how to encode TDMRep metadata in the metadata of a PDF file?

Thank you,
Vincent
