The 'table__history' is a rich data table that maintains the version history of its base table rows. It forms part of the 'tilastointialueet_ely1000k' dataset collection and contains information about the ELY-areas, or 'Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment' areas on a 1:1 000 000 scale, a concept relevant in Finland. The data is sourced from the 'Statistics Finland' (Tilastokeskus) website.

The table is equipped with special columns to track the history of each row, with columns capturing the start and end dates for each row version. If the end date column is null, this indicates that the version is the most recent. Each row is uniquely identified by a combination of the start date and row number.

The table also contains a range of geographical data, including geographic coordinates, which are presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system. This includes the longitude first, followed by the latitude. Geographic data includes the centroid and center coordinates of each ELY area, and the geographic shape of the area in multiple formats.

Additionally, the table includes comprehensive identifiers and names for each ELY area in multiple languages, including Finnish, Swedish and English, along with the year of the data.

The data in this table could be utilized in a variety of data analytics applications. For example, it could be used to track changes in ELY areas over time. It could also be used to analyze the geographical distribution of ELY areas. The multilingual data could also be useful in creating multilingual maps or applications.
