Version History of Base Table Rows from a Swedish Source in Dataset Collection

This history table is a part of a larger dataset collection. It maintains the version history of its base table rows, allowing for tracking of changes over time. Unique identifiers for each row are formed by a combination of a start date, indicating when the row was extracted from the data source, and a row number. In addition, an end date reflects when a new version of the row was added. If this end date is null, it indicates that the current row is the most recent version. The table has two additional columns for these dates compared to its base table, providing a clear timeline of data extraction and versioning.

The data within the table includes various geographic details, originally in the shapefile format. This format, used for storing location and attribute information of geographic features, has been transformed into the final geographic format for this dataset. Features can be represented by points, lines, or polygons (areas).

The dataset is sourced from the website of 'Lantmäteriet' (The Land Survey of Sweden) in Sweden.

The data can be utilized in numerous ways in data analytics. For example, geographic data can be used in spatial analysis to study patterns, relationships, or trends over specific areas. The version history can be beneficial for tracking changes in these patterns over time. Similarly, temporal analysis can be carried out on the data extracted dates to understand the frequency and timing of changes in the data. Furthermore, the data can be used for predictive modeling, using the historical changes to forecast future trends.
