consider adding a display True/False attribute in marc.py mapping #1099

We added a set of linked data fields URI_SUBJECTS, URI_NAMES, etc., to pull from GW marc records. These URI's are not displayed to the user, but we load them into the JSON data. Currently we label the URI fields "json data only" ; the item page skips over them (using an if NOT 'json data only' block). An alternate approach would be to have a display true/false attribute in the mapping and have item say if display. Also may consider a separate mapping specifically for linked data fields...
