The history table, part of a larger dataset, captures the version history of its base table rows, which are primarily focused on the geographic and demographic information of regions in Finland. Derived from the Finnish Statistical Bureau's (Tilastokeskus) dataset, this table provides a time-stamped record of each row's extraction from the source data, forming a progression of data versions over time. A unique identifier is created for each row in this version history table, combining the date of extraction and the row number. The table also indicates when a new version of a row was extracted, with a null value signifying the most recent version.

Geospatial data forms a significant part of the table content, with multiple columns dedicated to storing geographic information. These include details on geographical coordinates and regions, which are presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system. The table also includes demographic information such as region names in multiple languages and related identifiers.

The data in this table could be utilized in various ways for data analytics. For instance, the version history could be used to track changes in demographic data over time, allowing for trend analysis and forecasting. Furthermore, the geospatial information could be leveraged in GIS systems for mapping and geographic trend analysis. It could also be used to cross-reference with other datasets for a more comprehensive statistical analysis.
