The data sources listed at https://labs.waterdata.usgs.gov/api/nldi/linked-data?f=json have short, esoteric names that are insufficient to understand if a particular data source meets a use case, or what additional filtering might be required or third-party web services might be available after an NLDI response to meet a use case.

I think it would be good to allow data contributors to specify a URL pointing to a web resource that provides more detailed and useful metadata about the data source.
