Figure 24. Publication platforms used in France[1]
Total volume: 20,421,396 assets
As discussed above, France has a high rate of instances that publish all eligible collections to the public domain (33.9% of instances). Paris Musées accounts for 14 instances using primarily the CC0 tool, with a total contribution of 290,716 public domain compliant assets.
The most common statement is the Licence Ouverte (equivalent to CC BY), adopted by 24 GLAMs (38.7% of France instances).
Half of all instances (50.0%) publish assets via their own website. Another 21.0% (or 13) publish assets using a local aggregator (i.e., collections search platform) designed for GLAM groups (e.g., Paris Musées), rather than any national aggregator in France.[2]
The Centre National d'Études Spatiales (National Centre for Space Studies) contributes 19,340,944 open compliant assets or 94.7% of the total volume in France via its own website using the Licence Ouverte. The other 61 instances account for the remaining 1,080,452 assets (or 5.3%).
