The 'table__history' is a historical data table that stores the version history of its base table rows. It belongs to a dataset collection named 'tilastointialueet_ely1000k_2019'. It provides a comprehensive catalog of the ELY areas in Finland for the year 2019, at a scale of 1:1,000,000.

The table includes a unique identifier for each row in the raw data, which is a combination of the date when the data was extracted and the row number. It also includes the date when a new version of the row was extracted. This feature allows for easy tracking and analysis of changes to the base table over time.

The table contains geographic information, which can be used to perform geospatial data analytics. This includes the type of geographic feature, its geographic coordinates, its textual representation, and its center coordinates. The geographic coordinates use the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with longitude first, followed by latitude.

The table also includes identifiers and names of ELY areas in multiple languages such as Finnish, Swedish, and English. This could be useful for multilingual data analytics and localization tasks.

One of the use cases for this table could be to analyze the changes in the geographic boundaries of ELY areas over time. Another use case could be to use the geospatial data to visualize the ELY areas on a map, which can then be used for spatial analysis.

The data for this table is sourced from the 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland) website.
