Human-readable "Region name" for bbox/geometry? #1226

Closed m-mohr closed 1 year ago

m-mohr commented 1 year ago

What do others think about a free-form text field that encodes a "region" name for the given bbox or geometry? For example if you cover the island of Hawaii, you could include the human-readable name "Hawaii" in addition to the bbox/geometry.

We've seen this in some extensions like https://github.com/stac-extensions/osc and https://github.com/stac-extensions/noaa-mrms-qpe where the extensions define a specific set of region names for the given location.

Does this make sense?
