Difi
The Norwegian government has started publishing a lot of data through a central API. Information can be found at http://data.norge.no/
This gem makes use of the public APIs to provide easy access to public data.
Such as the Business Registry.
As a bonus, the Difi gem provides Zip codes as maintained by Erik Bolstad: http://www.erikbolstad.no/geo/noreg/postnummer/
