The dataset contains textual descriptions and classification of over 350 different educations. The educations are written by the editorial staff at education.no. Link to data: https://utdanning.no/api/v1/data_norge--utdanningsbeskrivelse Each educational description has a unique persistent identifier called “comparison_id”. All educational descriptions have a “comparison_id” that begins with “u_” and consists of ascii characters. The education description can be retrieved using either “comparison_id” or using the numeric internal ID internally (which is not included in this API). Each educational description has a title field (title). This is stable but changes in very rare cases where the education changes its name.
