Norway 63% open

Qa review- The license indicates that there is data in a machine readable format. I found the data in XML format and changed the submission.

Submission 2015-11-23: - Changed publisher to the meteorological institute, in stead of yr.no, which re-use their data. - Changed bulk-download from "Unsure" to "Yes". - Changed link to data to point to the Norwegian Meteorological Institute's web page about open data. From that page, there's links to api.met.no and yr.no for weather forecasts and to other services for bulk-downloads and historical data.

See previous comment for more details: http://global.census.okfn.org/submission/b136b239-d962-437f-9bb9-69de95a2296a#comments

Previous editor's note: But I've been corresponding with Statistics Norway ( the home of the statistics ) and they've said the same. Their license is essentially the same as the Norwegian License for Open Government Data ( NLOD - http://data.norge.no/nlod/en/1.0 ), but they can't yet write this, though they're working on it. That is, their license is CC BA compatible.

Postal codes are distributed by Posten Norge AS, while the borders for each postal code is distributed by The Norwegian Mapping Authority.

The Norwegian Mapping Authority also have administrative borders for download: http://data.kartverket.no/download/content/geodataprodukter?korttype=3594&aktualitet=All&datastruktur=All&dataskema=All

License is CC 4.0 BY. As of 26.09.2013 extensive portions of Norwegian map data is released in digital form, under a open license ( CC 3.0 BA ) - the announcement is here: http://www.kartverket.no/Om-Kartverket/Nyheter/Nasjonale-kartdata-blir-gratis/ New maps will be added, but at this point in time Norway maps with a resolution 1:50 000 and up, are available, here: http://data.kartverket.no/download/ 2d views, terrain models, location names, road data, and boundary maps are all part of this map release. An online (WMS) version of the maps is available, freely, here: http://beta.norgeskart.no/ In order to download data, the portal requires users to register.

Update 2015: Markings of national roads, national boarders, streams, rivers, lakes and mountains are also included in the data avaliable. The data is updated at least once a year, some every week.

Since the 2014 index, the data sets are available directly from the publisher, The Brønnøysund Register Centre, in addition to Difi's data hotel. Follow link to dataset for more information.

Through the last couple of years, the data set has been expanded with more fields, e.g. number of employees.

Entry in national open data portal (data.norge.no) states license as NLDO (http://data.norge.no/nlod/en/1.0). Ministry webpage - http://www.statsbudsjettet.no/

Luftkvalitet.info is run by Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU.no) on behalf of the Norwegian Environment Agency (miljodirektoratet.no).

The Environment Agency also have aggregate statistics available as open data at http://www.miljostatus.no

Note that measurement of benzene ("VOCs") seems to be done by lab analysis, and is not available weekly.

Luftkvalitet.no has data available for download, but you have to be registered: http://www.luftkvalitet.info/omnettstedet.aspx This seems to be so that they can add you to their mailinglist where you get information about downtime due to maintenance etc. You are not given an individual user account.

There's some parallel environmental information, also in free ( by attribution) machine readable form, available from Statistics Norway http://ssb.no/natur-og-miljo?innholdstype=statistikk / google translated: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=no&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fssb.no%2Fnatur-og-miljo%3Finnholdstype%3Dstatistikk

Note to reviewer: changed machine-readable to yes. Data queried from front end can be downloaded as an Excel-file suitable for machine-reading.

Editor: For private use, the data is available free of charge. However, commercial use requires a angreement ( read: subscription ) http://www.lovdata.no/info/lovavtale.html

No changes since 2013.

Reviewer-note 2014: Lovdata mentions an API on their webpage: https://lovdata.no/info/api Plans for the future?

QA review 2015: The website mention that the data is for non commercial use - "Some of the legal documents are available free of charge to all non-subscribers; and such documents may be used on a personal basis as long as such use is for a non-profit and/or non-commercial purpose." Changed license to not open.

Kartverket provides an online service (http://www.seeiendom.no/) that allows the user to look up a specific property, returning borders on a map with property details (e.g size).

Owner is not available.

License is open when you also look at these web pages: https://ssb.no/informasjon/om-statistikkbanken/hvordan-bruke-statistikkbanken https://ssb.no/informasjon/om-statistikkbanken/generelle-vilkar-for-bruk-av-statistikkbanken

License("URL to license or terms of use") in the link is not strictly an open license, and this seems to be since it's a general notice which also includes text, layout etc. on the website.
