Provinces 2016 (1:4,500,000) - Historic Versioning

The table titled 'table__history' is part of a dataset collection called 'tilastointialueet_maakunta4500k_2016'. This table is a history table that contains the version history of its base table rows. It provides a detailed historical record, tracking when each row was extracted from the data source and when a new version of the row was extracted. This feature is particularly useful for tracking changes over time and maintaining an accurate record of data alterations. The table is sourced from 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland) based in Finland.

The contents of the table are related to 'Maakunnat 2016 (1:4 500 000)', which can be translated to 'Regions 2016 (1:4 500 000)'. This gives an overview of different regions in Finland and their related data for the year 2016. Columns in the table provide geographic information, including geographic coordinates, which can be used for geospatial data analytics. The geographic coordinates are presented using WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with axis order longitude first, followed by latitude.

Several columns uniquely identify each row, such as the combination of '_start_date' and '_row_number'. This combination facilitates precise data tracking and maintains a clear version history. The '_end_date' indicates when a new version of the row was extracted. If the '_end_date' is null, this means that the row is the most recent version.

The data in this table could be utilized in various ways. For example, it could be used to track changes in regional data over time, providing a rich historical context for data analysis. Additionally, the geographical information could be used to create detailed maps or conduct geospatial analytics. This could be particularly valuable for regional planning or environmental studies.
