Regions of Finland 2015 (1:1 000 000) - Data Table
The table at hand is part of a dataset collection that encapsulates a wealth of data related to statistical areas in Finland, specifically pertaining to the provinces as of 2015. This table offers an extensive and meticulously organized set of data that captures a variety of aspects surrounding these provinces.
The table presents a unique blend of alphanumeric and geospatial data. Alphanumeric data includes information such as the provinces' names in different languages and the year of the data. The geospatial data, on the other hand, is captured through a series of columns that house geographic coordinates and related information. This geospatial data is particularly instrumental for geographic information system (GIS) analytics and provides valuable insights for geospatial data analysis.
One of the intriguing features of this table is the presence of two special columns - one that records the extraction date of the data, and another that assigns a unique row number to each data entry. Together, these columns serve as a unique identifier for each data row, making it easy to pinpoint specific data entries.
The geographic coordinates are presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with the axis order being longitude first, followed by latitude. This is a vital piece of information for any geospatial data analysis, as it ensures accurate representation and interpretation of the geographic data.
The data in this table could be utilized in a variety of ways in data analytics. For instance, the geographic information could be used to create detailed maps of the provinces, enabling a visual analysis of various provincial characteristics. The extraction date could be useful in tracking changes in the data over time, providing a historical perspective on the data. Furthermore, the unique row number could be used to sort and filter the data, aiding in efficient data management and retrieval.
This table was sourced from 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland), a reputable source for comprehensive and reliable data in Finland. The careful organization and richness of this data make it a valuable resource for data analytics, particularly in the field of geospatial analysis.
