Version History of Base Table Rows in Swedish Dataset Collection

The table under consideration is a history table that is a part of a dataset collection. It is sourced from the webpage of Lantmäteriet (The Land Survey) in Sweden. The main purpose of this table is to store the version history of its base table rows. It consists of several columns that store various types of information. For instance, it includes specific columns that record the date when the row was extracted from the data source and when a new version of the same row was extracted. If the latter is null, it signifies that the row is the most recent version. Additionally, it contains a column that records the number of the row in the raw data extracted from the data source. The combination of this column with the extraction date column uniquely identifies each row in this version history table. The table also includes geographic information transformed from the shapefile format. A shapefile is a format used to store the geometric location and attribute information of geographic features. This table, therefore, contains information represented by points, lines, or polygons (areas). As for data analytics, this table can be quite useful. For example, it can be used to track changes in geographic features over time, analyze trends in the data, and even predict future changes based on past patterns. Moreover, the ability to identify each row uniquely can aid in maintaining data integrity and avoiding duplication, thereby enhancing the accuracy of analysis outcomes.
