Version History of Base Table Rows in a Dataset Collection

The table under discussion is a history table, which encapsulates the version history of its base table rows. This aspect makes it unique as it contains two additional columns that record the start and end date of each row. This feature allows for tracking the evolution of data over time as each row represents a unique version of the data extracted from the source. The start date signifies when the row was extracted from the data source while the end date indicates when a new version of the row was pulled. If the end date is null, it indicates that the version of the row is the most recent.

The table also includes geospatial data, which was initially in the shapefile format. Shapefile is a standard format for storing geographical features and attributes. The geospatial information in this table has been transformed from the shapefile format to a final geographic format. This transformation makes the data more accessible and usable for various geospatial analyses.

The data for this table is sourced from the Swedish website 'Lantmäteriet' (The Land Survey). The table serves as a valuable resource for data analytics in various ways. For instance, the version history can help analysts understand trends and changes over time in the data set. The geospatial data, on the other hand, can be used to conduct geographic analyses to understand spatial patterns and relationships. Furthermore, the unique identifier for each row in the version history table can assist in maintaining data integrity, making this table a reliable source for historical and geographical analysis.
