The table at hand is an integral part of a larger dataset collection and houses essential data related to 'Seutukunnat 2022' which translates to 'Regional Units 2022'. This information has been sourced from the 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland) website based in Finland. The table's contents are primarily organized in rows and columns, each offering unique insights.

The table contains several columns which present a plethora of information. For instance, some columns provide geographic information that can be utilized for geospatial data analytics. These columns store data in the form of polygons and multipolygons, representing different shapes and areas on a map. The geographic coordinates are presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with the longitude mentioned first, followed by latitude.

The table also stores the name of the regional units in multiple languages. This can be useful for multi-lingual data analysis and localization. Additionally, a unique identification number for each regional unit is also stored in the table. This can be helpful in distinguishing between different areas, even if they have similar names.

The table also features two special columns: '_extract_date' and '_row_number'. The former provides the date that the data was retrieved from the source, while the latter indicates the row number in the data extracted from the source on the specific extract date. These two columns together uniquely identify each row, ensuring data traceability and integrity.

The data stored in this table can be utilized in numerous ways in data analytics. For example, the geographic information can be used to create detailed and interactive maps for spatial analysis. Furthermore, the multi-lingual names of regional units can be used for localization in developing international applications. The unique identifiers for each region can also be used for tracking changes in regional data over time.
