What it does
Data.gouv.fr publishes French public datasets, APIs, organisations and examples of data reuse.
The French platform separates datasets and APIs from the reuse gallery, where readers can see applications built with data. Search the relevant resource first and retain its publisher and licence. The accepted-licences page distinguishes information licences from software licences, so a code licence does not establish rights to every dataset.
Strengths
- Dataset and API discovery alongside a reuse gallery
Best for
- Finding French public datasets and examples of reuse
