I may be missing something key, but while obviously everything has to have a UUID that we can see, would it be desirable to use the name of the dataset rather than the UUID in the main tracking screens to show the list? I'm pretty sure the name does come through the chrome app, as we used it in all the spreadsheets. There may be harvesters who are more moved to harvest data based on its content, I'm assuming, and the URL isn't all the info about that we have.

In some ways that would be great but not all websites report a title, and sometimes titles are not unique "EPA climate exchange" etc

I still think the non-unique, but meaningful titles would be helpful. But it doesn't seem like a super high priority for me. Just putting in here to flag it for consideration.
