Version History of Municipalities 2018 (1:1 000 000) Table

The 'table__history' is a version history table that forms part of the 'tilastointialueet_kunta1000k_2018' dataset collection. This table is a record of municipalities in 2018 at a 1:1 000 000 scale, sourced from the Statistics Finland (Tilastokeskus) website. It consists of various attributes of the municipalities such as the name of the municipality in different languages and a unique identifier. It also includes geographic information which can be used for geospatial data analytics. The geographic coordinates are presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with axis order longitude first, followed by latitude. A unique aspect of this table is that it contains a version history of its base table rows. This is achieved through additional columns '_start_date' and '_end_date' which indicate the time period during which a specific version of a row was active. If the '_end_date' is null, it signifies that the version is the most recent. Alongside '_row_number', these columns serve to uniquely identify each row. The data in this table could be utilized in several ways in data analytics. For instance, the version history information could be used to track changes in the attributes of municipalities over time. Further, the geospatial data could be used in geographic information systems (GIS) to visualize the location and distribution of municipalities, and to analyze spatial relationships and patterns. Furthermore, this data could also be used in predictive modeling to forecast future changes based on past trends.
