I'm migrating several older sites together into a new Drupal 7 site. Much of the content has metadata that I'd like to be able to filter on using Views (among other uses), but that I don't want my users to edit, or even see.

Is there any way to define a field on a content type which has no edit widget? Or some other way to make the node edit form hide a field?

The Field Permissions module might work, but I don't want to add any more modules to my system than I absolutely need. And I won't need 99% of the functionality of Field Permissions.

Structure > Content Types > Manage Display then under format select for the field you want to be invisible.

Thanks for the tip, but this only accomplishes half of what I need. It hides the field on the rendered page, but not on the node editing page.

If field permissions is not an option you can hide it with css.

Thanks for this tip! I've got a preliminary implementation is place, and it seems to be working.
