Cross-source linking
Linking identifiers
The shared keys that let data be joined across French public sources — a parcel number, an INSEE commune code, an IRIS zone, a BAN address id, an RNB building id, a SIREN/SIRET. For each, this catalog shows how many sources expose it, under which raw field names, and whether it can be used as a filter in API requests (useful for sequential, drill-down calls). It's the map we'll link data with.
Based on 254 French sources with a classified field, out of 456 currently profiled. Updated 2026-07-05 20:37 UTC.

How to read this
- Joinable counts sources whose real sample values match the key's expected format (e.g. genuine 5-char INSEE codes) — those are directly joinable today; the higher source count is the candidate pool.
- Coverage is limited to French sources we've already profiled — others appear as they get profiled.
- “Filterable” is authoritative for Opendatasoft/DataFair facets and inferred structurally for feature services (WFS/OGC API Features/ArcGIS). For plain OpenAPI REST APIs it's unknown, because query parameters aren't captured yet.
- Field→identifier matching is alias/pattern-based — it may miss exotic spellings; composite keys (parcel, IRIS, lat+lon) are flagged but not auto-assembled.
