Version History Table of Base Rows in Gavleborg Dataset Collection

The table in question is a historical dataset, sourced from Lantmäteriet (The National Land Survey) in Sweden. This table is part of a broader dataset collection, and it serves as the version history of its base table rows. Unique characteristics of this table include two additional columns compared to its base table, which track the start and end dates of each row. This feature allows users to see when a row was first extracted from the data source, and when a new version of the row was extracted. If the end date column is null, it indicates that the row is the most recent version. Another key aspect of this table is its incorporation of geographic information, transformed from the shapefile format - a common format for storing geometric location and attribute information of geographic features.

In terms of data analytics, this table could provide valuable insights. For instance, data analysts could track changes in geographic features over time by comparing different versions of the same row. This could potentially reveal patterns or trends in geographic changes. Furthermore, the unique identification of each row could allow for detailed audits of data extraction processes, to ensure that data is being updated as expected. Finally, the geographic information could be used in spatial analysis or for creating detailed maps, aiding in tasks such as urban planning or environmental impact assessments.
