The history table, belonging to a dataset collection, is a rich resource of data, focusing on version histories of base table rows. Originating from Finland's 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland), the table presents a trove of data points, from geographical information to unique identifiers.

The data can be viewed through a chronological lens with the help of '_start_date' and '_end_date' columns, marking the inception and conclusion of a given row's version. In instances where '_end_date' is null, it signifies the row as the most recent version.

Geographical data offered by columns beginning with 'geom_', allows for granular analysis of data points. These columns provide geographic information, using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with the axis order being longitude first, followed by latitude. This allows for precision in geospatial data analytics, enabling users to pinpoint data in a geographic context.

Each row, marked with a unique '_row_number', serves as a unique identifier. This is coupled with the '_start_date', forming a unique combination that identifies each row in the version history table.

The table also contains a more descriptive set of columns, with 'name', 'namn', 'nimi' providing the English, Swedish and Finnish names for each row. The 'vuosi' column presents the year in question, while the 'avi' and 'id' columns provide additional identifiers.

This table could be used in a variety of data analytics contexts. For instance, tracking changes over time would be straightforward with the timestamp data provided. Geospatial analysis could be conducted using the geographic data, enabling detailed geographic visualizations, predictive modeling based on geographic factors, or other spatial analytics. The multilingual names would allow for region-specific analyses as well.

Field Descriptions

Name Data type Description
_start_datedateThe date when the row was extracted from the data source. This, along with '_row_number', uniquely identifies each row in the version history table.
_end_datedateThe date when a new version of the row was extracted from the data source. A null value indicates that the row is the most recent version.
_row_numberlongThe number of the row in the raw data extracted from the data source. This, along with '_start_date', uniquely identifies each row in the version history table.
avistringA string identifier, possibly representing a region or district code.
geom_geojsonstringContains geographic data in the format of GeoJSON, a common format for encoding a variety of geographic data structures.
geom_geotextstringContains geographic data in a textual format, possibly including polygon or multipolygon representations of geographic areas.
geom_typestringSpecifies the type of the geographic data, such as 'ST_MULTIPOLYGON' or 'ST_POLYGON'.
geom_centroidstringContains the point representing the geometric center, or centroid, of the geographic area.
geom_center_xdoubleThe x-coordinate of the geometric center of the geographic area.
geom_center_ydoubleThe y-coordinate of the geometric center of the geographic area.
gml_idstringA unique string identifier for the row.
idlongAn integer identifier for the row.
namestringThe English name of the entity represented by the row.
namnstringThe name of the entity represented by the row in a non-English language, possibly Swedish or Finnish.
nimistringAnother non-English name for the entity represented by the row, possibly in Finnish.
vuosilongAn integer, possibly representing the year associated with the row.
