Get RO-Crate metadata

GET 
/entity/:id/rocrate

Retrieve the complete RO-Crate JSON-LD metadata for an entity. This returns the raw RO-Crate representation, which includes all metadata conforming to the RO-Crate specification.

This endpoint works for any entity type (Collection, Object, or MediaObject) and returns the associated ro-crate-metadata.json content.

The returned document's provenance is implementation-defined: it may be a stored metadata document, or a view derived from the metadata documents of the entity's contributing RO-Crates. Either way it MUST be a valid RO-Crate whose root data entity describes this entity. To retrieve the original deposited metadata document verbatim, use GET /ro-crate/{id}/metadata (available where the implementation supports deposit).
