[Cube/ImageDM] - Updated model documents

[CresitelloDittmar, Mark]

All,

It was recommended that I upload the Cube model documents to the IVOA
document repository for easier access since the Volute repository is not an
official delivery area.  I did so this past Thursday (5/28).  These are new
entries in the list, so I wanted to hold off the announcement until they
were visible.

The versions uploaded are the same as announced with this message in March.

Dataset Metadata Model

N-Dimensional Cube/Image Model
  http://www.ivoa.net/documents/NDimCubeDM/20150320/index.html

Looking forward to your comments,
Mark
