Version History of Base Table Rows for Norrbotten Dataset Collection

The table is part of a dataset collection from Lantmäteriet (The Land Survey of Sweden) and it contains the version history of its base table rows. It is a historical table that stores data extracted from a geographic dataset in a shapefile format, a format used for storing the geometric location and attribute information of geographic features. The table captures unique identifiers for each row, dates when data was extracted, and geographic information.

The table includes columns that capture the start and end date for when a row was extracted from the data source. These dates, in combination with a unique row number, enable the tracking of changes in the data over time. If the end date for a row is null, it denotes that the version of the row is the most recent.

Additionally, the table stores geographic information transformed from the shapefile format. This includes information about the object's ID, its coded classification, area in hectares, and geographic features represented by points, lines, or polygons. It also includes the geometric centroid and the coordinates for the center of these geographic shapes.

The data in this table could be used in various data analytics applications. For example, it could be used in environmental studies to track land use changes over time, by comparing the geographic features' attributes at different dates. Similarly, urban planners could utilize the data to study urban growth or decline in specific areas based on changes in the classification codes. It could also be used in machine learning models to forecast land use changes, by training the model on the historical data captured in the table.
