As we ingest metadata from 3rd party repositories we need a means of promoting certain metadata such, as the URL to the source, and displaying it prominently as part of the dataset view. We envision a panel on the right hand side that will display all these promoted metadata fields prominently for the user. Additionally when we access clowder through the API from other applications, we can include this promoted metadata as part of the information returned, not requiring a second query to get this information. For example if we have a field in the metadata that links to the remote location of the data (say url) and this is promoted in the space, when the user requests information about the dataset, besides the normal information such as name, author, it will also return this additional field (in this case url).
