The VANNBR tag in the data is not the width in meters, but a code for 
the width of the river. Code 2 is 1-3m and code 3 is 3-15m wide. I have 
found this tag to be misleading as it is changed due to aesthetic 
reasons in the data. (N50 is a vector layer intended for rendering)

This is also a code that you can look up in a huge table that lists the 
different ways they collect data (measured with different types of GPS, 
traced from areal photographs, measured with a yardstick, etc.). It is 
an indication of accuracy.

This is the measured accuracy in cm.

The definition of mire in the documentation is an open landscape with 
"mire vegitation", that usually refers to peat. This is by far the most 
common type of wetland in Norway. There are no other form of wetland in 
the data, however I think that wetlands that is not mire is classified 
as other types like forest, lake or open areas.
