Exhibition/About seems broken - stable keys

[Colin Clark]

It probably doesn't make a ton of sense to implement it now with UUIDs, only to change again to a mapped, museum-specific identifier for 0.5. I do agree that this makes sense for the next release. In short, having museum-specific IDs will allow us that permanent linkage with the upstream source of data, making it possible for us to do smart refreshing data imports and so on.

It would be impossible to operate stable URLs for artefacts and other entities otherwise. Hugues has told us how to derive these for McCord and it is an essential requirement of any other integration that we could do this for another institution. So this is certainly something we will do for 0.5 but the question is whether it makes sense this week.
