Statistics Finland's Service Interface (WFS) - 2015 Dataset Collection

The dataset collection is a compilation of related data tables sourced from the website of 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland) in Finland. The data tables are structured in an organized manner with related data placed in rows and columns. The contents of this dataset collection originate from the Tilastokeskuksen palvelurajapinta (WFS), which translates to 'Statistics Centre's service interface (WFS)'. This suggests that the dataset collection provides a valuable resource for statistical analysis and research, especially in the context of Finland's socioeconomic and demographic data. However, the specific nature of the data contained within the tables requires further exploration or clarification from the data source.

Tables

Regional Development Areas 2015 (Scale 1:4,500,000)TSV
The table is a comprehensive collection of data pertaining to ELY areas in 2015, at a scale of 1:4,500,000, sourced from the website of 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland), Finland. The table is an integral part of a larger group of related tables. Each row of the table represents a unique set of data, identified by two special columns: the date when the data was extracted and the row number in the extracted data. The table comprises various columns that contain different types of information. Some columns hold geographic data, relevant for geospatial data analytics, such as the type of the geometry, its textual and JSON representations, the centroid point, and the x and y coordinates of the center. This geographic information is presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system,...
Version History of ELY Areas 2015 (1:4 500 000)TSV
The 'table__history' is a history table that keeps track of the version history of its base rows. The table is a part of the dataset collection 'tilastointialueet_ely4500k_2015'. The base table contains data about the ELY-areas in 2015 at a scale of 1:4,500,000. This information is sourced from the 'Tilastokeskus' website, located in Finland. The data in the table is organized into rows, with each row representing a specific version of the base row. Each row in this table is uniquely identified by a combination of the '_start_date' and '_row_number'. The '_start_date' indicates the date the row was extracted from the data source, while the '_row_number' represents the number of the row in the raw data extracted from the data source. The table also includes an '_end_date' column that...

Column Descriptions

Regional Development Areas 2015 (Scale 1:4,500,000)

Column	Type	Comment
_extract_date	date	This column records the date when the data on the row was extracted from the source. It helps in tracking the freshness of the data.
_row_number	long	This is a unique identifier for each row, representing the row number in the data extracted on the specified extract date.
ely	string	This string type column represents a specific code for a region. It is crucial for geographical analysis.
geom_geojson	string	This column stores geographic data in GeoJSON format. It allows the representation of spatial features along with their non-spatial attributes.
geom_geotext	string	This column contains geographical data in the form of text. This data is used for representing multipolygon shapes.
geom_type	string	This column specifies the type of the geometric object. For instance, it could represent different types of polygonal shapes.
geom_centroid	string	This column stores the geometric central point of the shape represented by the row. It is used in spatial analysis and computations.
geom_center_x	double	This column represents the X-coordinate of the center point of the shape. It is used in spatial analyses.
geom_center_y	double	This column represents the Y-coordinate of the center point of the shape. It is used in spatial analyses.
gid	long	This is an integer type unique identifier for each row.
gml_id	string	This string type column represents a unique identifier for each geographical feature.
name	string	This string type column represents the English name of the region.
namn	string	This string type column represents the name of the region in another language.
nimi	string	This string type column represents the name of the region in another language.
shape_star	double	This real type column represents a geometric property of the shape, which can be used in spatial analysis.
shape_stle	double	This real type column represents a geometric property of the shape, which can be used in spatial analysis.
vuosi	double	This real type column records the year relevant to the data in the row.

Version History of ELY Areas 2015 (1:4 500 000)

Column	Type	Comment
_start_date	date	This column contains the date when the row was extracted from the data source. It is part of the combination that uniquely identifies each row in this version history table.
_end_date	date	This 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 means that the row is the most recent version.
_row_number	long	This column contains the number of the row in the raw data extracted from the data source. It also forms part of the combination that uniquely identifies each row in this version history table.
ely	string	This column contains string values representing different regions.
geom_geojson	string	This column contains geographic data in GeoJSON format.
