Regional Units 2016 (Scale 1:1 000 000) - Dataset Table
The table under consideration contains information related to regional units in Finland from the year 2016, as sourced from the Finnish statistical authority, 'Tilastokeskus'. This data is part of a wider dataset collection, which potentially includes other related tables. Each row in the table presents data for a specific regional unit, with the data extracted on a specific date. The data fields include various geographic coordinates, names of regions in different languages, a unique identifier, and a year indicator.
The geographic coordinates presented in the table use the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with the axis order being longitude first, followed by latitude. These coordinates could be highly valuable for geospatial data analytics, for example, for creating detailed maps of the regional units, identifying geographic patterns, or for conducting spatial statistical analyses.
Additionally, the table includes a unique identifier for each row, which is composed of the date of data extraction and the row number. This ensures that each row of data can be uniquely identified, which is crucial for data management and integrity.
The regional names are given in multiple languages, which could offer insights into linguistic diversity in Finland or facilitate international comparisons. The year indicator, while constant in the current table, suggests that similar data may be available for different years, allowing for temporal analyses.
Overall, this table provides a rich source of geographic and linguistical data about regional units in Finland, with potential applications in a wide range of data analytics scenarios.
