ELY Areas 2017 (Scale 1:1,000,000) - Dataset Table from the Finnish Statistics Bureau

The table in discussion is a part of a larger dataset collection that focuses on the ELY-areas for the year 2017, represented at a scale of 1:1 million. This table is sourced from the Statistics Finland (Tilastokeskus) website, which is based in Finland. The gathered data is organized into several columns, capturing a diverse range of information.

Two of these columns are particularly noteworthy: one captures the date when the data for each row was extracted, while the other signifies the row number from the original data source. Together, these columns uniquely identify each row in the table.

The table also comprises columns that contain geographic data. These are especially useful for geospatial data analytics, as they present geographic coordinates using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, where the axis order is longitude first, followed by latitude.

The geographic information includes a variety, from the geojson and geotext format of the geographical area to the type of geometry used. It also captures the centroid of the geometry and the X and Y coordinates of the center of the geometry.

Other columns in the table provide details about the region's unique identifier, the region's Finnish and Swedish names, and the year the data was recorded.

Data from this table could be put to various uses in data analytics. For instance, the geographic information could be used to create visual maps of the regions for better understanding of the area distribution. The region names could be used in analyzing trends over time and comparing data between different ELY areas. Additionally, the unique identifiers could be used for merging this data with other related datasets for a more comprehensive analysis.
