What I think would be nice to have is a vocabulary that 1) explains what NUTS and LAU levels are (in all EU languages) 2) Provides national equivalents of those levels (like this table <http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/portal/page/portal/nuts_nomenclature/correspondence_tables/national_structures_eu> does). Such a general vocabulary could be used to enrich datasets describing national administrative subdivisions and make it easier to link them. Does this make sense?
