GeoNorge map catalogue

Name: GeoNorge map catalogue
License: CC-BY-4.0

GeoNorge (the Norwegian Mapping Authority) is Norway's national catalogue for geographic information: datasets, map services (WMS/WFS), downloads and product sheets from Kartverket, the Environment Agency, NVE, NGU and other geodata agencies. The map catalogue API offers free-text search with a type facet and full ISO 19115 metadata per UUID (organisation, themes, distribution formats, access restrictions). A discovery engine for Norwegian geodata — the gateway to the DOK datasets (the public map base). Open API, no auth.
