The table in focus is a historical table that contains an organized collection of related data, specifically, the version history of its base table rows. It originates from the 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland) website in Finland. This historical table is a part of a larger dataset collection, which consists of one or more related tables.

The content of the table is derived from the 2015 AVI areas at a 1:4 500 000 scale. AVI stands for 'alueviranomainen', which is Finnish for regional administration. These areas are represented through a variety of columns that contain detailed information about each row.

The table includes special columns: '_start_date', '_end_date', and '_row_number'. These columns provide valuable information about the extraction and version history of each row. The '_start_date' column indicates when the row was extracted from the data source, while the '_end_date' indicates when a new version of the row was extracted. If the '_end_date' is null, it indicates that the row is the most recent version. Together, '_start_date' and '_row_number' create a unique identifier for each row in the history table.

The table also contains columns with geographic information, which are prefixed with 'geom_'. These columns provide geospatial data that can be utilized for geospatial data analytics. Specifically, they provide information about the geographic coordinates in the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with the axis order being longitude first, followed by latitude.

Understanding the data in this table can support a variety of data analytics applications. For instance, the geospatial data can be used to perform spatial analysis or map visualizations of historical changes in the AVI areas over time. The version history could be used to track changes and trends in the regional administration areas. The data could also be used for predictive modeling to anticipate future changes in these areas.

Field Descriptions

Name Data type Description
_start_datedateThis column represents the date when the row was extracted from the data source. It is part of the combination with '_row_number' that uniquely identifies each row in this history table.
_end_datedateThis column contains the date when a new version of the row was extracted from the data source. If the value of this column is null, it indicates that the row is the most recent version.
_row_numberlongThis column contains the number of the row in the raw data extracted from the data source. It is used in conjunction with '_start_date' to uniquely identify each row in this version history table.
avistringThis column holds a string value representing a certain classification or category.
geom_geojsonstringThis column stores the geometric configuration of the area in GeoJSON format which is a geospatial data interchange format based on JavaScript Object Notation (JSON).
geom_geotextstringThis column contains the geometric configuration of the area in text format. This can be used for visual representations or analytics.
geom_typestringThis column indicates the type of the geometry stored in the 'geom_geojson' and 'geom_geotext' columns. The value is 'ST_MULTIPOLYGON' indicating that the geometry is a multipolygon.
geom_centroidstringThis column holds the geographical point that represents the center of the area's geometry.
geom_center_xdoubleThis column contains the x-coordinate of the geometric center of the area.
geom_center_ydoubleThis column contains the y-coordinate of the geometric center of the area.
gidlongThis column holds an integer value which serves as a unique identifier for the area.
gml_idstringThis column contains a unique string identifier for the row.
namestringThis column stores the English name of the area.
namnstringThis column holds the name of the area in another language.
nimistringThis is another column that stores the name of the area but in a different language.
shape_stardoubleThis column contains a real number which might represent a certain property of the area's shape.
shape_stledoubleThis column holds a real number which could represent another property of the area's shape.
vuosidoubleThis column stores a real number which seems to represent a specific year.
