The 'table__history' contains a comprehensive record of ELY (Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment) areas in Finland, as recorded in 2016. The data in this history table represents the version history of its base table rows, providing a detailed snapshot of changes over time. Each row in the table is uniquely identified by the combination of '_start_date' and '_row_number', offering precise tracking of data extraction and subsequent updates.

The table includes geographic data, such as geometry in geojson and geotext formats, the type of geometry, the centroid of the geometry, and the x and y coordinates of the center. This geographic information, presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, is valuable for geospatial data analytics, enabling users to visualize and understand geographic distributions and patterns.

In addition to geographical data, the table includes unique identifiers for each ELY area ('gid', 'gml_id'), and their names in three languages: English ('name'), Finnish ('nimi'), and Swedish ('namn'). The column 'vuosi' indicates the year the data was collected.

The table also records the date a row was extracted from the data source ('_start_date') and the date when a new version of the row was extracted ('_end_date'). If the '_end_date' value is null, this indicates that the row is the most recent version.

The wealth of data in the 'table__history' allows for a variety of data analytics applications. For example, the table could be used to track changes in ELY area boundaries over time, analyze spatial patterns in economic development, or identify correlations between geographical characteristics and transport infrastructure. Furthermore, multilingual naming allows for multicultural research and cross-referencing with other language-specific datasets.

The 'table__history' is sourced from the 'Tilastokeskus' website, the Statistics Bureau in Finland, ensuring reliable and accurate data for analytics.

Field Descriptions

Name Data type Description
_start_datedateThis column records the date when the row was extracted from the data source. It is part of a combination with '_row_number' that uniquely identifies each row in this version 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 signifies that the row is the most recent version.
_row_numberlongThis column represents the number of the row in the raw data extracted from the data source. It forms a unique identifier in combination with '_start_date' for each row in this version history table.
elystringThis is a string-type column in the base table, representing a particular category or attribute in the dataset.
geom_geojsonstringThis column contains geometric data of the entity in GeoJSON format, a popular open standard format designed for representing simple geographical features.
geom_geotextstringThis column contains geometric data in a textual format. This can be used for spatial queries and analysis.
geom_typestringThis column specifies the type of the geometry stored in the 'geom_geojson' and 'geom_geotext' columns. It can help in understanding the nature of the spatial data.
geom_centroidstringThis column stores the geometric center or 'centroid' of the entity. This can be useful in spatial analysis.
geom_center_xdoubleThis column represents the X-coordinate of the geometric center of the entity, providing a spatial reference.
geom_center_ydoubleThis column represents the Y-coordinate of the geometric center of the entity, providing a spatial reference.
gidlongThis is an integer-type column in the base table, which may be used as an identifier or a key in the dataset.
gml_idstringThis is a string-type column in the base table. It could be an identifier or a key for the rows in the table.
namestringThis is a string-type column in the base table. It may contain names of entities or attributes relevant to the dataset.
namnstringThis is a string-type column in the base table, possibly containing names or labels in a different language.
nimistringThis is a string-type column in the base table, possibly containing names or labels in a different language.
vuosidoubleThis is a real number-type column in the base table, which could be used for storing various numerical data, such as year in this context.
