Issue:
Allow to attach partials to a crate?
Hi,

For Autosubmit, since the workflow configuration doesn't contain the information needed for RO-Crate, I [used](https://earth.bsc.es/gitlab/es/autosubmit/-/merge_requests/317) the exact same approach from [COMPSs](https://github.com/bsc-wdc/compss/blob/9e79542eef60afa9e288e7246e697bd7ac42db08/compss/runtime/scripts/system/provenance/generate_COMPSs_RO-Crate.py) and asked users to provide a YAML file with authors & license.

Then I create the objects and attach/add to the RO-Crate-py object.

The implementation in Autosubmit is similar, but not identical to COMPSs. Other workflow managers with similar need may craft yet another way of doing the same.

It would be nice if there was a way to load RO-Crate-py entities directly from a dictionary/YAML data. Something like

```py

from rocrate.entities.person import Person

crate = ROCrate()

with open('') as f:
  yaml_content = parser.safe_load(f)

for author in yaml_content['authors']:
  crate.add(Person.load_from_dict(author)
```

Not sure how to validate the format of the entities... maybe instead of YAML receive JSON-LD directly, or provide a tool/script to read SPARQL+SHACL, etc.?

Cheers
Bruno

+#### Modifying the crate from JSON-LD dictionaries
+
+The `add_jsonld` method allows to add a contextual entity directly from a
+JSON-LD dictionary containing at least the `@id` and `@type` keys:
+
+```python
+crate.add_jsonld({
+    "@id": "https://orcid.org/0000-0000-0000-0000",
+    "@type": "Person",
+    "name": "Alice Doe"
+})
+```
+
+Existing entities can be updated from JSON-LD dictionaries via `update_jsonld`:
+
+```python
+crate.update_jsonld({
+    "@id": "https://orcid.org/0000-0000-0000-0000",
+    "name": "Alice K. Doe"
+})
+```
+
+There is also an `add_or_update_jsonld` method that adds the entity if it's
+not already in the crate and updates it if it already exists (note that, when
+updating, the `@type` key is ignored). This allows to "patch" an RO-Crate from
+a JSON-LD file. For instance, suppose you have the following `patch.json` file:
+
+```json
+{
+    "@graph": [
+        {
+            "@id": "./",
+            "author": {"@id": "https://orcid.org/0000-0000-0000-0001"}
+        },
+        {
+            "@id": "https://orcid.org/0000-0000-0000-0001",
+            "@type": "Person",
+            "name": "Bob Doe"
+        }
+    ]
+}
+```
+
+Then the following sets Bob as the author of the crate according to the above
+file:
+
+```python
+crate = ROCrate("temp-crate")
+with open("patch.json") as f:
+    json_data = json.load(f)
+for d in json_data.get("@graph", []):
+    crate.add_or_update_jsonld(d)
+```
