We might as well start a proper discussion on what our long-term goals
regarding geo features are and what some low-key first steps in
achieving those might be (using NUTS, perhaps?).

We should also find a terminology for describing how data relates to
territory (describes in part, describes in full,
exclusively/non-exclusively, ...). I know very little about this, what
would be some interesting things to investigate here?
