The table is a part of a dataset collection that contains information about road traffic accidents for the year 2020, sourced from 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland), a website based in Finland. The table includes various data points structured as columns, ranging from the date of data extraction to specific geographical coordinates.

It features two noteworthy columns: '_extract_date' and '_row_number'. The former provides the date when the specific data point was extracted, while the latter indicates the unique row number for each data piece extracted on a specific date. This combination allows each row to be uniquely identified.

Several columns in this table store geographic data, which can be instrumental for geospatial data analysis. This data is presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with longitude appearing before latitude.

The data within the table could serve multiple purposes in the field of data analytics. For instance, temporal analysis could be performed to identify trends in road traffic accidents over time, possibly revealing peak times or months for accidents. Geospatial analysis could help visualize accident hotspots on a map, which could aid in traffic planning and road safety measures. Furthermore, the data could be used to analyze the severity of accidents, potentially highlighting areas with higher incidences of serious accidents and thus contributing to targeted safety interventions.
