The table encapsulates data pertaining to the ELY Centres in Finland for the year 2017, as sourced from the 'Statistics Finland' (Tilastokeskus) website. Each row of the table represents an individual ELY Centre, with relevant information organized in various columns.

The table provides geographic information for each ELY Centre. This includes the geographic shape ('geom_geojson', 'geom_geotext'), type of geometry ('geom_type'), centroid of the geographic shape ('geom_centroid'), and the geographic center coordinates ('geom_center_x', 'geom_center_y'). The geographic coordinates are presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with the axis order being longitude first, followed by latitude. This geographic information can be utilized for geospatial analytics, such as spatial pattern detection, spatial clustering, or spatially explicit predictive modeling.

Each ELY Centre is also identified by an 'ely' code, a unique 'gid', and a 'gml_id'. Additional information about the ELY Centre is provided in multiple languages ('name', 'namn', 'nimi'), which can be useful for multilingual data analytics or localization initiatives.

The table also includes the year ('vuosi') the data pertains to. This allows for temporal analytics, to analyze changes over time or to create time series models.

Every row in the table has a unique identifier, which is a combination of the date when the data was extracted ('_extract_date') and the row number ('_row_number') in the extracted data. This is essential for data management, ensuring data integrity and enabling precise data retrieval and manipulation.

Given the rich geographic and multilingual information, this table can be utilized in several data analytics applications. For instance, it can support geospatial analyses to understand spatial patterns or trends among ELY Centres. It could also facilitate multilingual studies or support localization efforts in Finland. Additionally, the temporal aspect of the data can be leveraged to analyze changes in ELY Centres over time.

Field Descriptions

Name Data type Description
_extract_datedateThe date when the data on the row was extracted from the data source. This, in combination with '_row_number', uniquely identifies each row.
_row_numberlongThe row number in the data extracted from the source on the extract date specified by the column '_extract_date'. This, in combination with '_extract_date', uniquely identifies each row.
elystringA string code representing a specific region, as defined by the source.
geom_geojsonstringGeospatial data in GeoJSON format, typically representing the geometry of the region identified by the 'ely' code.
geom_geotextstringGeospatial data in a textual format, typically representing the geometry of the region identified by the 'ely' code.
geom_typestringThe type of the geospatial data represented in 'geom_geojson' and 'geom_geotext'.
geom_centroidstringThe geospatial coordinates of the centroid of the region represented by the 'geom_geojson' and 'geom_geotext' columns.
geom_center_xdoubleThe x-coordinate of the center of the region represented by the 'geom_geojson' and 'geom_geotext' columns.
geom_center_ydoubleThe y-coordinate of the center of the region represented by the 'geom_geojson' and 'geom_geotext' columns.
gidlongAn integer identifier, possibly corresponding to the region represented by the 'ely' code.
gml_idstringA unique string identifier for each row, provided by the source.
namestringThe English name of the region represented by the 'ely' code.
namnstringThe name of the region represented by the 'ely' code in another language.
nimistringThe name of the region represented by the 'ely' code in another language, possibly Finnish.
vuosidoubleA real number, possibly representing the year of data collection.
