yes, an url would be required for the subject. the artifacts are
available online and a permanent resource lookup would be available (for
example http://archives.apache.org/incubator/wicket/wicket-x.y.z.tar.gz)
but the preferred access mechanism is through mirrored download. so it
might be a better to use an URIS which doesn't allow resource retrieval
(http://incubator.apache.org/audit/releases#wicket-x.y.z.tar.gz, say).

i suppose that a blank node could be used but it does seem a little
involved
