Historical Version Records of Geographic Data in Norrbotten Collection

The 'History' table is a comprehensive record of the version history of its base table rows, sourced from the 'Lantmäteriet' website in Sweden. This table is part of a larger dataset collection, providing a detailed look into the evolution of the data over time. Each row in the table is uniquely identified by a combination of the extraction date and the row number from the original data source. This table includes two additional columns to its base table, one indicating the start date when the row was extracted and another indicating the end date when a new version of the row was extracted. If the end date column is null, it signifies that the current row is the most recent version.

The table also contains geographic information, originally in shapefile format, which has been transformed into the final geographic format. This includes geographic features such as points, lines, or polygons (areas).

In terms of data analytics, this table offers several potentials. For instance, one can track changes in geographic features over time, which could be useful in environmental studies or urban planning. Additionally, the version history can provide insights into data trends and patterns, and can also be used to verify the accuracy and consistency of the data over time. Furthermore, the geographic data can be utilized for spatial analysis, such as identifying areas of interest or examining spatial relationships between features.
