The table, part of the dataset collection 'tilastointialueet_seutukunta4500k_2020', contains a rich set of data, primarily geographic, about the Regions (Seutukunnat) in Finland as of the year 2020 at a scale of 1:4,500,000. It comprises a variety of columns including dates of data extraction, row numbers, geographical coordinates, and specific identifying information of each region.

The dataset is sourced from the 'Statistics Finland' (Tilastokeskus) website, based in Finland, ensuring reliable and accurate data. The data within the table can be used to conduct geographical and statistical analysis. For example, the geographic coordinates, presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system with axis order longitude first, followed by latitude, can be utilized for geospatial data analytics. This would allow us to create visualizations, maps, or models of the different regions.

The table contains special columns '_extract_date' and '_row_number', which are used to uniquely identify each row. '_extract_date' indicates the date when the data on the row was extracted from the data source and '_row_number' represents the row number in the data extracted from the source on the specific extract date. This allows for efficient data management and tracking.

Moreover, the table contains region-specific columns including names in different languages and identifiers, which provide additional context about the regions. Such data could be used in linguistic studies or regional planning.

The table serves as a comprehensive resource for exploring and analyzing regional data of Finland, allowing for a multitude of applications in data analytics.
