Historical Version Overview of Geographical Features and Attributes

The table under discussion is a historical record that forms part of a larger dataset collection. It is a special type of table known as a history table that holds the version history of its base table rows. This means it tracks changes over time, recording when each row was added and when it was subsequently updated. This is achieved through the inclusion of two additional columns compared to its base table, which record the start and end dates of each row's existence in the data source. The unique identification of each row in this version history table is achieved through a combination of the start date and the row number. If the end date of a row is null, this indicates that it is the current version of the row.

The data in this table is rich, including geographical information transformed from the shapefile format. Shapefile is a common format for storing the geometric location and attribute information of geographic features, which can be points, lines, or polygons (areas).

This table was sourced from the website of 'Lantmäteriet' (The Land Survey) in Sweden.

The data in this table can be utilized in numerous ways in data analytics. For example, it can be used to perform a temporal analysis of the geographic features, understanding how they have evolved over time. This could be invaluable in environmental studies or urban planning. Additionally, the unique identification of each row allows for detailed tracking and analysis of specific features, which could be used in a wide range of applications from resource management to transportation planning.
