Dataset description

The national aggregator portal for archives [FranceArchives] (https://francearchives.gouv.fr/) offers a federated search in the inventories of more than 200 French, national or local, public or private archives. These inventories contain indexes of places, persons, families or institutions, and themes, on which the portal’s project team carries out [quality rise treatments] (https://francearchives.gouv.fr/article/213604642). The proposed dataset is that of the themes that have been aligned with the Thesaurus for indexing archive materials through an equivalence relationship. Equivalence is accurate for concepts, while the terms “used for” are aligned to the preferred term for the concept. The csv spreadsheet file includes the URL and wording of FranceArchives, as well as the URLs of the Thesaurus. These data are updated twice a year.

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.
