The 'table__history' is a historical data table sourced from the website of 'Tilastokeskus' in Finland. The table contains data about the 'Large areas 2020' (Suuralueet 2020) at a scale of 1:4,500,000. This data provides valuable insights on various geographical areas in Finland, with their names provided in multiple languages - Finnish, Swedish, and English. Each area is also associated with a unique identifier, which is an essential feature for data analysis and tracking changes over time.

The table offers a rich set of geospatial data, with columns providing geographic information in different formats like geojson and geotext. This data, represented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, can be used for detailed geospatial analysis. The geospatial data includes the type of geometric figure (like multipolygon), the centroid (geographical center) of the area, and the x and y coordinates of the center.

A unique aspect of this table is its history tracking. It includes columns for the start and end dates, indicating when the data for a particular row was extracted and when a new version was extracted, respectively. Combined with the row number, these columns allow for unique identification of each row in the table, providing a detailed version history of the base table rows.

This table can be used in a variety of data analytics applications. For example, it can be used in geographical analysis to study changes in the areas over time, or in environmental studies to analyze the impact of climate change on different regions. It can also serve as a rich source for language studies, given the multilingual nature of the data.

geom_geotextstringThis column contains a text representation of the geometric data related to the row.
geom_typestringThis column specifies the type of the geometric data associated with the row.
geom_centroidstringThis column contains the point that represents the geometric center of the shape associated with the row.
geom_center_xdoubleThis column contains the x-coordinate of the geometric center of the shape associated with the row.
geom_center_ydoubleThis column contains the y-coordinate of the geometric center of the shape associated with the row.
gml_idstringThis column contains a unique identifier for each row.
namestringThis column contains the English name of the area related to the row.
namnstringThis column contains the Swedish name of the area related to the row.
nimistringThis column contains the Finnish name of the area related to the row.
