Historical Version Records of Geographical Data in Ostergotland Dataset

The table in question is a historical data table that forms part of a larger dataset collection. It's a history table that stores the version history of its base table rows. This means it holds records of different versions of each row, tracking changes over time. Each row is uniquely identified by a combination of the extraction date and the row number from the raw data source.

The table has two additional columns compared to its base table which hold the start and end dates. The start date indicates when the row was extracted from the source, while the end date indicates when a new version of the row was extracted. If the end date is null, this indicates that the row is the most recent version.

One of the main features of this table is its geographic information, originally in the shapefile format, which has been transformed into the final geographic format. This geographic information can represent points, lines, or polygons (areas), enabling detailed spatial analysis.

The data for this table comes from the website of 'Lantmäteriet' (The Land Survey) in Sweden.

In terms of utilization in data analytics, this table could be used in a variety of ways. For example, the geographic information could be used to conduct spatial analysis or mapping exercises. The historical nature of the data also allows for trend analysis over time, potentially revealing patterns or changes in the data that were not immediately apparent. Furthermore, the unique identifiers for each row enable detailed tracking and comparison of data versions, facilitating in-depth studies of data evolution.
