Dataset description

This dataset consists of extracting bibliographic records from the Base patrimoine du catalogue collectif de France (CCFr). It was produced on the occasion of the study day ‘Naissance et essor du roman anglophone en France’ on 11 April 2019. It is dedicated to the study of English-language holdings and collections, which may be of interest for research and are kept by the CCFr’s partner municipal libraries. ### Content of the dataset This game consists of 16 files of bibliographic records corresponding to a selection linked to an author, a provenance or more broadly to English works present in a particular collection, that is to say, initially collected by a collector. The Dijon library's dataset, devoted to rare editions of Laurence Sterne or parodying Laurence Sterne, is accompanied by the photographic file of the copies. The contents of each of the files are given more precisely in the document "Presentation of the datasets". ### Production Context This game has been extracted from the Heritage database of the collective catalog of France (CCFr), which aims to report works preserved by municipal libraries in old, local, thematic and / or bequeathed by individuals. The complete database is searchable online on the CCFr via a specific search interface. The dataset makes it possible to disregard the 1000 record limit set for result lists. ### Dataset Format The dataset shall be delivered in the form of: - A raw export in unimarc format containing all the information and codes of the source data (in particular the stock codes and libraries). The mrk format, which can be opened with MarcEdit software or word processor, was preferred over the ISO2709 exchange format. - A simplified export in Excel spreadsheet, containing the main information relevant to the identification of the edition and the location of the copy. ### API and related datasets This dataset is an extraction made from the data of the Heritage Base also made available on this site. It is related to the Library Fact Sheets (RCF Directory) and Fund Fact Sheets (RCF Directory), which give a detailed description of the institutions and holdings to which the bibliographic data refer. ### Find out more on the Heritage Base: [https://www.bnf.fr/en/la-base-patrimoine](https://www.bnf.fr/en/la-base-patrimoine) on the UNIMARC format: [https://www.transition-bibliographique.fr/systems-et-donnees/manuel-unimarc-format-bibliographique/](https://www.transition-bibliographique.fr/systems-et-donnees/manuel-unimarc-format-bibliographique/) on CPR numbers: [http://documentation.abes.fr/sudoc/manuals/administration/management_libraries/index.html #IlnRcr](http://documentation.abes.fr/sudoc/manuals/administration/management _libraries/index.html #IlnRcr) on MarcEdit: [https://marcedit.reeset.net/](https://marcedit.reeset.net/)

Yes. Selected APIs include a free API quota, so your team can validate coverage, freshness, response shape and workflow fit before asking for a production plan.
Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.
Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.
Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
