The 'table__history' is a history table that contains the version history of its base rows, sourced from the 'Tilastokeskus' website in Finland. The table is part of a larger dataset collection that presents the regional statistical areas in Finland for the year 2020 at a scale of 1:4,500,000. The data includes information about different regions, such as North Ostrobothnia, South Savo, Central Finland, South Karelia, and Lapland, in various languages.

The table has a unique combination of the '_start_date' and '_row_number' columns that helps to identify each row in the version history table. The '_start_date' column refers to the date when the row was extracted from the data source, while the '_end_date' column indicates the date when a new version of the row was extracted from the same source. If the '_end_date' column is null, it signifies that the row is the most recent version.

Geographic information is stored in columns starting with 'geom_', which can be utilized for geospatial data analytics. The geographic coordinates are presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with the axis order being longitude first, followed by latitude. The data in these columns could be used to create geospatial visualizations of changes in the regional data over time.

The table also includes the 'maakunta' column that contains numerical identifiers for each region. This data, combined with the version history, could be used in time series analysis to track changes and trends in regional data over time. Similarly, the multilingual region names in the 'name', 'namn', and 'nimi' columns could be used in multilingual data analytics and localization studies.
