Currently we have a mixed terminology to refer to features / fields.
The schema uses features, whereas the field_formats.py file mostly uses fields.
It would be nice to unify this.

There is a lot of different terminology out there, depending on you allegiance.

CSV: talks about records which are divided by fields.
Relational algebra: Terms like Domain, Table, Attribute, Key and Tuple are used
SQL: row and column
DBs: tuple or record and attribute or field
ML: examples and features
