Version History of Base Table Rows in a Historical Dataset from Sweden

The table in focus is a historical dataset that contains the version history of its base table rows. It is an integral part of a larger dataset collection. This historical table is unique in that it includes two additional columns compared to its base table, allowing the tracking of when each row was extracted from the data source and when a new version of the row was extracted. A null value in the end date column signifies that the row is the most current version.

The table features a unique combination of a start date and row number, distinguishing each row in the version history table. It also provides geographic information, transformed from the original shapefile format into a more user-friendly geographic format. Shapefiles, a common format for storing geographic location and attribute information, can represent features as points, lines, or polygons.

This table has its roots in the website of Lantmäteriet (The Land Survey of Sweden) in Sweden. As such, it provides valuable insights into Swedish geographic features and their changes over time.

The data within this table can be utilized in various ways. For example, it can be used to analyze geographic changes over time, providing insights into patterns of land use or shifts in natural features. The historical aspect of the table also allows for the tracking of specific geographic features' evolution. Furthermore, the table could serve as a basis for predictive analytics, forecasting future changes based on past patterns.
