Document the usage of non-hash IRIs in JSON-LD #33

NMA is following the httpRange-14 resolution to mint two separate identifiers (with/out a trailing hash) for each entity:

  1. The physical item, e.g. http://nma.conaltuohy.com/object/64620#
  2. The metadata record describing it, e.g. http://nma.conaltuohy.com/object/64620

This should be explained in the API documentation so the significance of the hash is clearer, e.g. <rdf:Description rdf:about="object/1234#"><crm:P70i_is_documented_in><crm:E31_Document rdf:about="object/1234"><dc:modified>2018-01-01...
