+# World Locations Database
+
+World locations hierarchical database. Extracted from [ChefSurfing.com](https://chefsurfing.com/).
+
+* Initialized with United Nations data.
+* In `data` folder there's a YML file per each country with it's divisions and
+  cities. We'd like to add neighborhoods in biggest cities (now we only have
+  Buenos Aires neighborhoods).
+* Location names are typically in english.
+* There's no other attribute than the location name and position in the
+  hierarchy yet.
+* Has some errors, goal is to correct it/polish it through Pull Requests to
+  this repository.
