Get the entity's RO-Crate metadata document

GET 
/entity/:id/metadata

Retrieve the entity's RO-Crate Metadata Document: the complete JSON-LD conforming to the RO-Crate specification. This is the metadata document itself, not the summary Entity object returned by GET /entity/{id}.

This endpoint works for any entity type: Collection, Object, or MediaObject.

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).
