The table is part of a larger dataset collection and includes geographically oriented data, specifically focused on the regions of Finland in 2018, as indicated by the Finnish Statistical Bureau (Tilastokeskus). The data in the table includes information about specific regions, each identified by unique codes, names presented in multiple languages, and the year to which the data pertains. The geographic information is represented in several formats, including GeoJSON, GeoText, and geometric types, along with the geographic center coordinates. This geospatial data is presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with longitude first, followed by latitude. The data in the table is further organized by a unique extract date and row number, which together provide a unique identifier for each row in the table. This information could be leveraged in data analytics to study regional trends or patterns over time, to perform geospatial analysis for urban planning or environmental studies, or to localize content or services to specific regions based on the multilingual names provided in the table.
