Mappings of municipalities to other region types for history data about geofi HOT 5 OPEN

I think this would be useful as well. I added functionalities and datasets related to this into the sorvi package 0.8.20.9000 experimental version:

https://github.com/rOpenGov/sorvi/

It is based on work done in FinnONTO on the Finnish Spatio-temporal Ontology, I have translated the RDF/Turtle files into a clean dataset that is easy to use in R. I think this, along with mappings to other types of administrative divisions such as lääni, kihlakunta, tuomioistuinpiiri etc., would be very useful if it could be adopted in some form into the geofi package!

Yes. If these are not readily available from established official sources, it would be justified to construct them manually and share as part of the package. Also good to check if we could/should utilize avoindata.fi portal.

@teelmo also has some stuff nicely collected in Github but not really historical ones.

Interesting! To be tested & discussed in more detail.

Should this be considered to be more part of a hypothetical "geofi-data" package / repository (as referred in #13 ) instead of geofi core package?

Sounds feasible. However, it could make sense to develop and plan publications jointly
