The history table contains a record of changes of its base table. It holds the version history of each row in the base table, documenting the chronological sequence of changes. Each row is uniquely identified by the combination of the date of extraction and the row number from the raw data source. The table includes two additional fields to track the start and end dates of each version of the row. If the end date is null, it indicates the most recent version. Geographic information is stored in various formats, enabling geospatial data analysis. These geographic coordinates are presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with the longitude appearing before the latitude.

The base table's content, 'Municipalities 2016 (1:1 000 000)', provides information about the municipalities in Finland, as sourced from 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland). This includes the name of the municipality in different languages and the year of the data record.

The data in this table can be used in various ways for data analytics. For instance, it can be used to track changes in geographic boundaries of municipalities over time, or to perform geospatial analyses to understand patterns and trends. Additionally, the language variations of municipality names can be used in multilingual data applications.
