Detect country of origin automatically from label or logo

What

Part of

A more specific version of #7

There are two main variants of "Made in (Country)" labelling which seem common

• Specific logos, such as "Australian Made" (see https://www.australianmade.com.au/why-buy-australian-made/about-the-logo/ for examples)
• Wording such as "Product of" or "Made in" plus a country.

The plain text wording is likely the easiest to do; as it would be simply a pipeline looking for a country name, plus hint text; which would provide a strong indicator of country of origin.

@CloCkWeRX Could you add the 'country:' parameter in the label taxonomy ?

The logos are linked to it, so we'll be able to add countries automatically as a result.

Hi, I'm Hrithik and am new here. I had a question and a suggestion. For the country of origin, is the aim to find out where the specific product is made or a subsidiary product of large brand made in a different location, e.g. A Hershey's chocolate has plants in Mexico, USA and other countries so are we supposed to find out where the specific chocolate bar was made or where it is made in general. If it is the latter then we can use a lexicon associating countries of production with the eatery and predict accordingly.

Wiki still down for me, but this seems to be working; closable?
