Version History of Base Table Rows in Vastra Gotaland Dataset Collection

The 'clc12_63d_so__history' table is a historical table sourced from the Swedish website 'Lantmäteriet' (The Land Survey). It is part of the 'vastra_gotaland' data collection. This table records the version history of its base table rows, which makes it especially valuable for tracking changes over time. It consists of several columns, each providing unique and valuable information. For example, each row in this table can be uniquely identified by a combination of the row's unique number and the date it was extracted from the data source.

The table includes two special columns that record the start and end dates of each row's existence in the data source. If the end date is null, this indicates that the current version of a row is the most recent. This feature is particularly useful for identifying the most current version of a record and tracking changes over time.

The table also includes a rich set of geographical information transformed from the shapefile format. This format is a simple, non-topological method for storing the geographic location and attribute information of geographic features, which can be represented by points, lines, or polygons.

In terms of data analytics, this table could serve numerous purposes. For instance, it could be used to analyze changes in land use over time, given its geographic and temporal information. The version history could provide valuable insights into patterns of changes and trends. Furthermore, by integrating this data with other relevant data sets, more complex analyses could be conducted, such as correlating land use changes with socioeconomic or environmental factors.
