[gnd-ontology] New version of the GND Ontology available

[Svensson, Lars]

Adrian,

> we are currently frequently fetching the GND RDF data via OAI-PMH to

This is an interesting service, thanks for making it available!

> As we index and provide JSON-LD in lobid, we created a JSON-LD context

The instance data should now be in sync with the ontology, so you can start to adjust the context.

Thanks,

Lars
