Large Areas 2013 - Geospatial Data at 1:1 Million Scale
The table in discussion is a part of a larger dataset collection, and it offers detailed geospatial data, specifically focusing on the larger areas of Finland in 2013. The contents of the table, translating from Finnish, can be described as 'Larger Areas 2013 (1:1 000 000)'. This indicates that the table provides data related to geographical areas in Finland, collected in the year 2013, at a scale of 1:1 million.
The data in this table is organized into numerous columns, each offering a unique piece of information. Key columns hold data about the extraction date and row number, with each row being uniquely identified by a combination of these two. This means that the table offers a well-structured timeline of data extraction, which can be crucial in understanding data trends over time.
Geospatial data is provided in several columns, all prefixed with 'geom_'. This data, represented in the WGS 84 coordinate reference system (longitude followed by latitude), includes geographic coordinates, type of geographical figure, and the center coordinates. This detailed geographical information is a rich resource for geospatial analytics and can provide valuable insights into geographical trends and patterns.
Other columns offer information about the larger areas, including their names in different languages (Finnish, Swedish, and English), their unique identification codes, and the year of data collection. This data can be particularly useful in regional studies and multilingual research.
The data for this table is sourced from 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland), a Finnish website dedicated to providing comprehensive statistical data about the country.
Given the comprehensive nature of the data in this table, it can be utilized in a variety of ways in data analytics. For instance, the geospatial data can be used to study the geographical distribution of larger areas in Finland, understand spatial trends over time, and even create detailed maps or models. The multilingual data can be employed in linguistic or cultural studies, helping researchers understand regional naming conventions and variations. Furthermore, the data extraction timeline could be used to analyze changes in the data collection process or study trends over time.
Field Descriptions
| Name | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| _extract_date | date | This column contains the date on which the data in the respective row was extracted from the source. It is a special column that, in combination with '_row_number', uniquely identifies each row. |
| _row_number | long | This column contains the row number in the data extracted from the source on the extract date specified by the column '_extract_date'. It is a special column that, along with '_extract_date', uniquely identifies each row. |
| geom_geojson | string | This column contains the geographical data of the area in GeoJSON format, a popular open standard format designed for representing simple geographical features, along with their non-spatial attributes. |
| geom_geotext | string | This column contains the geographical data of the area in WKT (Well-Known Text) format, a text markup language for representing vector geometry objects. |
| geom_type | string | This column specifies the type of the geographical data. In this case, the type is 'ST_MULTIPOLYGON', indicating that the geographical data represents multiple polygons. |
| geom_centroid | string | This column contains the centroid point of the geographical data. The centroid is the geometric center of a plane figure or shape. |
| geom_center_x | double | This column represents the x-coordinate of the center of the geographical data. |
| geom_center_y | double | This column represents the y-coordinate of the center of the geographical data. |
| gml_id | string | This column contains a unique identifier for each geographical area. |
| name | string | This column contains the English name of the area. |
| namn | string | This column contains the name of the area in Swedish. |
| nimi | string | This column contains the name of the area in Finnish. |
| suuralue | string | This column contains a numeric identifier for the area. |
| vuosi | long | This column contains the year related to the data. In this case, all data is from the year 2013. |
