Hyrax is a Ruby on Rails Engine built by the Samvera community. Hyrax provides a foundation for creating many different digital repository applications.
We would like to generate more fields as linked data fields, which support autocomplete from endpoints, which in turn, inject data into the hidden id field in the html and deep index through the deep_indexing_service.
Rationale
Being able to generate more fields as a linked data field, would raise the power of linked data in the system and improve overall metadata of the system by exposing more fields to things like alternative labels, broader or narrower terms, and other pieces of useful data.
Expected behavior
When a field is expressed as a linked data field, it renders the select2 input on the edit/new page of a work.
Actual behavior
The only field that renders a linked data field is based_near

Descriptive summary
This ticket describes the need to be able to generate Linked Data fields on the form using the LinkedData object found here: https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/hyrax/autocomplete/linked_data.es6
Currently, the only field capable of generating a LinkedData object, which in turn, generates the Select2 html and corresponding javascript to help support linked data, is based_near. This is because it is hardcoded in this file. https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/hyrax/autocomplete.es6#L26
