Details

The data comes from two different public bodies. Access address registry is available from Þjóðskrá Íslands (National registry). Border polygons come from Landmælingar Íslands (National land survey).

National land survey's website requires registration where a link (which expires in 2 days) is emailed to the user. However the national open data portal, http://opingogn.is contains a direct link to the data without registration. That can be regarded as an official source for this index.

Links to data and license are restricted to the access address registry. Boundaries are available at http://opingogn.is/dataset/is-50v-mork-isn93 under this license http://www.lmi.is/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Almskilm.pdf
