The 'table__history' is an integral part of the 'tilastointialueet_seutukunta4500k_2024' dataset collection. As a history table, it maintains the version history of its base table rows, ensuring that every change in the data is recorded and preserved for future reference. The table houses a variety of data, including geographical and temporal information, all sourced from 'Tilastokeskus' in Finland.

The table comprises unique identifiers for each row, formed by a combination of the extraction date and the row number. This information, along with the table's history functionality, makes it an invaluable tool for tracking data evolution over time. If an '_end_date' is not present for a row, it signifies that the entry is the most recent version.

A significant portion of the table is dedicated to geographical data. These data, represented in the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, include geographic coordinates, polygons, centroids, and more, allowing for extensive geospatial data analytics. For example, the geographic information could be used to visualize the spatial distribution of the regions or to perform spatial analysis related to the regions.

Additionally, the table includes information on regions, such as their names in various languages and their codes. This information can be utilized to conduct region-based analysis or comparative studies among different regions.

The temporal information in the table, specifically the year ('vuosi'), enables users to perform temporal analysis, track changes over time, or predict future trends based on historical data.
