The 'table__history' is a historical dataset that tracks the version history of its base table rows. It's part of a larger dataset collection called 'tilastointialueet_avi4500k'. This historical table is sourced from 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland) and primarily contains information about the AVI areas in Finland represented at a scale of 1:4 500 000. The data includes elements such as region names in different languages and unique identifiers for each area. It also includes a variety of geographic information that can be utilized for geospatial data analytics. The geographic coordinates are presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with axis order longitude first, followed by latitude.

Unique identifiers for each row are formed by a combination of the start date and the row number. The start date indicates when a row was extracted from the data source, while the end date signifies when a new version of that row was extracted. If the end date value is null, it denotes that the row is the most recent version.

This table has a multitude of potential applications in data analytics. For instance, the geographical data could be used to map the historical changes in AVI areas over time, or to analyze spatial patterns and trends. The version history could also be utilized to trace data quality issues back to their source, or to study how certain areas have evolved. Additionally, the multilingual region names could assist in international data compilations or comparative studies between regions.
