The table belongs to a dataset collection that contains geographical data about the regions in Finland, sourced from the Statistics Finland (Tilastokeskus) website. The main contents of the table are captured under the categories of extraction date, row number, geographical data, and region details. It includes data about regions as of the year 2022 at a scale of 1:4,500,000.

The geographical data in the table is multifaceted, offering details about the type of geographical entity (polygon or multipolygon), its geographical representation in GeoJSON and GeoText formats, its centroid, and its X and Y center coordinates. These geographic coordinates are presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with the axis ordered as longitude first, followed by latitude. This comprehensive geographical data can be utilized for geospatial data analytics, such as studying population dispersion, planning logistics, or disaster management.

Region details are further broken down into the region's name in Finnish and Swedish, its unique identifier, and its name in a simplified form. These details can be used for socio-cultural or linguistic studies, policy planning, or business location strategy.

The table also includes two special columns: the extraction date and the row number. The extraction date indicates when the data was pulled from the source, and the row number denotes the order of data extraction. The combination of these two columns uniquely identifies each row in the table, ensuring data accuracy and traceability.

Field Descriptions

Name Data type Description
_extract_datedateThis column holds the date of data extraction from the source. It represents the point in time when the row data was collected.
_row_numberlongThis column contains the row number in the data extracted from the source on the extract date specified by the column '_extract_date'. Together with '_extract_date', this column uniquely identifies each row.
