What I would really prefer in my  case is for a way to specify the JSON data
inside within the HTML file without calling an external file.

Something like this except what would I use instead of "link"?

<html>
<head>
<title>MIT Nobel Prize Winners</title>
<link type="application/json" rel="exhibit/data"
Data= {"items" : [
{type : "Nobelist",
label : "Burton Richter",
discipline : "Physics",
shared : "yes",
"last-name" : "Richter",
"nobel-year" : "1976",

.....

} ] }
/>
<script src="http://static.simile.mit.edu/exhibit/api-2.0/exhibit-api.js";
type="text/javascript"></script>
etc
