ELY Areas 2016 Geographical Data (1:4 500 000 Scale)

The table, a component of the dataset collection, holds data related to the ELY areas for the year 2016, as scaled to 1:4 500 000. This information comes from the 'Tilastokeskus' website, located in Finland. The data encapsulates different aspects of the ELY areas, including unique identifiers, geographic coordinates, and names in various languages. These names represent the ELY centers, such as the Lapland ELY Centre, Häme ELY Centre, and North Savo ELY Centre, among others.

Two special columns, '_extract_date' and '_row_number', provide information about the data extraction process. The '_extract_date' showcases the date on which the data for the row was collected, while the '_row_number' is an identifier for the row number in the data extracted on the specified date. The combination of these two columns uniquely identifies each data row.

Columns beginning with 'geom_' contain geographic data, useful for geospatial data analytics. They provide information about the geographic shape (e.g., multipolygon), centroid, and center coordinates (longitude and latitude) of the ELY areas. It's important to note that the geographic coordinates are presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with the axis order being longitude first, followed by latitude.

Examples of how this data could be utilized in analytics include mapping and visualizing the Ely areas based on the geospatial data, trend analysis based on the extract date, or studying the relationship between different ELY areas by comparing the geographic coordinates. Moreover, the multi-lingual names of the ELY centres could be beneficial for creating localized reports or applications.
