The table named 'table__history' is an integral part of the dataset collection 'tilastointialueet_ely4500k_2016'. This table serves as a historical record, keeping track of the version history of its base table rows. The table contains data pertaining to ELY-areas in 2016, at a scale of 1:4,500,000, sourced from 'Tilastokeskus' (the Finnish Statistics Bureau) located in Finland.

The table's columns hold a wide range of data types, including date timestamps, row numbers, geographic information, and text fields. A unique feature of this history table is its two additional columns, '_start_date' and '_end_date', which respectively denote the dates when a row was extracted from the source data and when a new version of the row was extracted. If the '_end_date' is null, it signifies that the row is the most recent version.

Among the various columns, those starting with 'geom_' are of special interest as they hold geospatial data. This geographic information, expressed using a WGS 84 coordinate reference system, is particularly useful for geospatial data analytics.

Potential uses of the data in this table could include tracking changes over time in the ELY-areas, performing trend analysis, and carrying out geospatial analytics. For instance, the data could be used to monitor the shifts in boundaries of the ELY-areas over time or to analyse the spatial distribution and concentration of specific attributes within these areas. Furthermore, the version history could be utilized to validate the data integrity and accuracy of the base table.
