Confirm Data Accuracy: Best Practices – Norway (nb_NO)
Research involves verifying the data through an official source (i.e official website or claimed social media) or 3 unofficial sources. Clearly unreliable sources should not be considered at all.
Use official resources like businesses’ official websites, national postal service websites, and government websites whenever possible.
If you can’t verify the data correct or incorrect, rate Can’t Verify.
To give you some guidance, please see below some of the resources that Analysts from Norway (nb_NO) have reported to be helpful when performing research:
particularly helpful when researching closed businesses)
•Google/Bing web search
Helpful resources to research Address Accuracy
•Official website/social media (always first step!)
•https://adressesok.posten.no/– The official postal service offers this site and it usually coincides with the information found on the previous site mentioned. When you search for an address you can click on the number itself and it will open the map. This is useful to also see where the postal code and locality boundaries are.
•www.seeiendom.no– This site is from the National Mapping Authority. The usability is sometimes a little tricky because I think their server gets overloaded but if you can get past that it is a great resource for confirming addresses. In the top left corner, you enter the street address. Start by entering the street and number manually, don’t paste it in as it may not be the exact format and therefore won’t return any information. it is only available in Norwegian but that should not be an issue for the analysts.
When there is a lack of resources, it can be difficult to determine whether a POI or business does, in fact, exist. A thorough look for sources is, thus, necessary.
