  • The CORINE (Coordination of information on the environment) program was started by the European Environment Agency (EEA) in 1985. Land cover information was introduced with the CORINE land cover (CLC) dataset for reference year 1990. The CLC database has been updated three times (CLC2000, CLC2006 and CLC2012). CLC is now implemented in all EU countries, most of the Central and Eastern European countries, as well as in Norway and Iceland (EEA 2007). The same hierarchical (three levels) classification system for land cover is used throughout the whole Europe. The first level has five classes of land cover. The second level has 15 classes the third level has 44 classes of land cover. Working scale of CLC is 1: 100.000.The smallest mapping unit is 25 hectares. CLC datasets for Norway are produced by automatic generalization of existing high-resolution national land resource datasets supplemented with input from topographic maps and various public databases. The CORINE land cover maps are in general manually or semi -automatically digitized from satellite images. They reflect land use in years around 1990, 2000, 2006 and 2012. Further information can be found here: https://brage.bibsys.no/xmlui/bitstream/handle/11250/2469123/SoL-Rapport-2010-05.pdf? CLC2012 was compiled using the same method, but with CLC2006 as the basis.

  • The dataset defines areas within the Sami reindeer grazing area where the right to herd reindeer is restricted due to special legal conditions. The reindeer grazing areas where Sami reindeer husbandry takes place covers approx. 40% of the land area of Norway, extending from Finnmark in the north to Engerdal, Hedmark in the south. Sami reindeer husbandry also takes place in Trollheimen on the basis of a special legal arrangement. Non-sami reindeer husbandry takes place in the mountain areas in Southern Norway, based on agreements with landowners.

  • WFS service for the dataset Railway Network consist of geographic reference lines for railway lines that form part of the Norwegian national railway infrastructure. The dataset uses linear referencing according to Bane NOR's model using kilometer chainage.

  • The service provides an overview over chartered/surveyed areas of the Norwegian sea areas. Bathymetry has been collected over a long period, by various actors and with different equipment. In the attribute table of the dataset, there are details such as the year of measurement, mapping method, data owner/which actor collected the data, equipment, echo sounder type, specification, and resolution. This service is based on OGC API Features. OGC API is a group of new standards being developed by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) to make it easier to access geographic data on the web. Not all GIS software has established support for all the new standards, which means that for example one must use a vector tiles connection to this service when using QGIS.

  • Buildings and churches that are protected according to Norwegian law, either automatically, permanently or temporary by individual order, or by regulation. Buildings can be protected through several paragraphs in the Cultural heritage act. Buildings that are protected through individual order (§ 15), and government owned buildings that are protected through regulation (§ 22a). Buildings that are older than 1537 are automatically protected, buildings from between 1537 and 1649 can be declared protected, and Sami buildings older than 100 years are also automatically protected (§ 4).

  • WFS can be used to download named places with all information from the Central Register of Place Names. We also supply the fact sheet from this service with styling of queries relating to unique place numbers in the database.

  • The data display areas covered with mineral permits for the Norwegian state’s minerals, according to the "Lov om erverv og utvinning av mineralressurser (mineralloven)" §7; the Minerals Act. The data set contains areas defining active exploration permits (UND) and extraction permits (UTV). The data set has overlapping surfaces; several mineral rights can be issued for the same geographical area, but then have different priorities. The mineral Exploration or extraction permit with highest priority, i.e. the first applicant for the right, in a given area is determined by the date The Directorate of Mining with the Commissioner of Mines at Svalbard (DMF) received the application. This is recorded in the attribute InnsendtDato. An exploration permit to the State’s minerals is awarded as a right to a defined area and not as a right to a specific deposit. The owner of an exploration permit with the best priority has the exclusive right to apply for an extraction permit following the Minerals Act § 29. The validity of the exploration permits is 7 years from the best priority whereas extraction permits have 10 years validity. This date is defined from the attribute "UtstedtDato". DMF is the owner of the data set. The data set is included in the WMS-service Bergrettigheter.

  • The national land resource database (AR) classifies the land cover of mainland Norway according to its suitability for agriculture and natural plant production. National land resource datasets are available at scale 1:5.000 (AR5), 1:50.000 (AR50) and 1:250.000 (AR250). Arable land is a valid land resource attribute for certain classes of land types derived from the dataset AR5. These land types are pasture, forest, open land and marshland (peat bog). The land types have to fulfill requirements for soil quality and climate for plant production. Features in the dataset Arable land are continuous areas with the same attributes assigned according to the classification criteria of AR5 with a geometric representation as polygons. The dataset is updated annually. Arable land data are updated annually with data on from the land resource map in scale 1:5.000. This ensures that arable land are an attribute to current pasture, forest, open land and peat bog and not an attribute to previous land types of these sorts.
