Columns
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| region_kind | The kind value as it appears in the indicator relations. |
| code_pattern | The regular expression Atlas classifies by, published so a consumer can read the rule rather than infer it from examples. |
| is_kommune | Whether this kind is a real municipality. 🔴 Not the same question as 'does the code look like a kommune_nr' — the pseudo-codes are the reason this column exists. |
| label_no | The Norwegian label, as its publisher writes it. Atlas does not translate or normalise upstream label text. |
| label_en | The English label where the publisher provides one. |
| sort_order | The publisher's own display order. ⚠️ Sort by this, not by `code` — several of these lists do not sort into their intended sequence alphabetically. |
