The table, named as 'table__history', is a historical data collection that tracks the changes in the rows of its base table over time. It is a part of the dataset identified as 'tilastointialueet_suuralue4500k_2015'. This table primarily focuses on the version history of the base table, which represents 'Suuralueet 2015' or 'Large Areas 2015', at a scale of 1:4,500,000.

The table provides a structured and systematic record of each row's lifecycle from the raw data extracted from the source. Each row in the table is uniquely identified by a combination of the date when the row was extracted, and the row number. To track the version history of each row, two additional columns namely, the start date and end date of the row version, are included in this table. Therefore, if the end date is null, it signifies that the row is the most recent version.

Geospatial data is a significant part of this table, with several columns providing geographical information. This includes the type of geometry, geotext, geojson, and the centroid, which can be utilized for geospatial data analytics. The geographic coordinates are presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with axis order longitude first, followed by latitude.

This table also provides region names in different languages and shape attributes for these regions. These could be used for multilingual data analytics or geographical shape analysis. The data about the large areas in Finland in 2015, which this table represents, could be used for various analytics purposes, such as historical trends in geospatial data, regional classification, or multilingual analysis.

This table is sourced from the website of 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland) located in Finland. It is a rich source for historical and geospatial data analytics for the country.
