Melvin makes a good point, but I don't think he was necessarily
suggesting that you should change the call.

If you only intended your application to trigger the IRI retrieval
process via JavaScript (and not letting it hit the server), switching to
query string is irrelevant. Difference being that it will then hit the
server with no practical purpose.

However, using the fragment on the other hand implies that the IRI that
follows the # is part of the document. If we look at the HTML source,
that is not the case, and presumably not the case if the base URL
returns an RDF representation either.

I would suggest that, either use ? and let the server trigger everything
(which is IMO the right thing to do here, and with simpler/better
caching possibilities), or stick to # and let JavaScript manage it all
(as is now).
