The table 'table__history' is a comprehensive collection of data that is a part of the dataset 'tilastointialueet_hyvinvointialue4500k_2023'. This table specifically focuses on the history of its base table rows, tracking the changes made over time. It contains a wealth of information about Finnish 'Wellbeing Areas' for the year 2023, as mapped on a 1:4 500 000 scale.

The table utilizes columns to represent different aspects of these wellbeing areas. For instance, there are columns that denote the start and end dates of a data row's respective version, which serve as a unique identifier for each row in combination with the row number. Additionally, the table features a number of geographic information columns, such as geojson, geotext, centroid, and center coordinates, all of which follow the WGS 84 coordinate reference system. These can be utilized for geospatial data analytics, allowing users to visualize and analyze the location and shape of each wellbeing area.

Apart from geographic data, the table also provides columns for the name of each wellbeing area in different languages, including English, Swedish, and Finnish. These can be used to understand regional divisions and their corresponding names across different languages. Furthermore, there is a column that denotes the year, which, in this case, is consistently 2023.

The table sources its data from the 'Statistics Finland' ('Tilastokeskus') website, based in Finland. The inclusion of a version history for each row in the table allows for tracking changes over time, providing insights into how these wellbeing areas have evolved. For example, data analysts could use this table to understand how the geographic boundaries of these areas have changed over time or how the naming of these areas differs across languages. Additionally, the geospatial data could be utilized to analyze spatial patterns and trends related to wellbeing areas, for instance, their size, shape, or proximity to other areas.
