In a circular , the Prime Minister reminded us in April 2021 that administrations "must constantly seek the best possible circulation of data, algorithms and codes, in open formats that can be used by third parties. This renewed ambition implies, in addition, a reinforcement of the opening of source codes and public algorithms, as well as the use of free and open software, and the extinction, by 2023, of the fees charged for the reuse of data.

The objectives of opening up the data and codes of the ministries will also have to be "translated into a roadmap ... This will have to show the priorities of the ministries in terms of opening up data and codes and include a training component for agents and managers on the challenges of data" .

15 departmental roadmaps

Among the 500 actions identified in these 15 roadmaps, 22% concern the opening of data, 15% the sharing of data, 15% the exploitation of data.

Among the new data openings announced, we note in particular data on court decisions, data on organic farming at the plot level or audience data from the ENT of secondary school students.

Data sharing between authorized administrations will contribute to the implementation of the "Tell us once" principle. This principle, enshrined in the law for a State at the service of a trustworthy society of August 10, 2018, provides that a user - individual or company - undertaking an administrative procedure will no longer be required to provide certain information or supporting documents (reference tax income, proof of identity, certificate of entitlement issued by social security organizations) already held by the administration."

In support of these sharing and openness actions, the development of data catalogs is found in many roadmaps. "These catalogs are intended to be shared with other organizations to facilitate collaborations and data sharing."

The ministries' roadmaps also include actions to strengthen the exploitation and value of the data they hold and produce. In particular, tools will be developed to visualize data or explore new uses for artificial intelligence, such as targeting high-risk profiles to effectively combat fraud.

Sector-specific data hubs (existing as Health Data Hub and AgDataHub) or to come (Labor Data Hub, Education Data hub, etc.) "will ensure the proper circulation of data with restricted access to a set of duly authorized actors within the framework of their mission".

Making the digital commons a major tool for territorial public action

In this roadmap, the ministry proposes, first of all, to put data at the service of ministerial action. To this end, it points out four priority uses:

• Territorial Information System (SIT): The Incubateur des Territoires is building a data harvesting tool that allows territorial analysts (within local authorities) and national analysts (ANCT) to enrich and facilitate their observation of the territory, by superimposing ad hoc information layers without modifying their current systems and business tools.
• A data hub for digital inclusion offering a set of data for digital inclusion actors.
• Repository of local economic actors: the agents in charge of economic development in their territory need tools that facilitate the updating of business data in their territory (e.g., business vacancies) and the follow-up of contacts with local economic actors.
• National Address Base (BAN) and Local Address Base (BAL): The intervention of emergency services or access to services (networks, deliveries...) presupposes the existence and sharing of reliable addresses.

To this end, it plans to " make the digital commons a major tool for territorial public action.

• The National Agency for Territorial Cohesion is already working on " the creation and constitution of governance and investment doctrines for the development and maintenance of digital commonalities with the territories, whether through its Incubator of Territories or its holdings in cooperative societies of collective interest (SCIC) as part of its Digital Society program.
• Following the model of the IGN and its Geo-Commons or the ADEME and its Call for Commons, "the constitution of commons, based on the sharing of data, appears to be an innovative lever for public action. This pooling of data can promote innovation and knowledge and strengthen local public action.

Promote the circulation of data between the State and local authorities as well as between local authorities and local actors

Supporting the territories and improving the legibility of public action

The Ministry of Territorial Cohesion, through this roadmap, plans "to provide territorial actors with the necessary means to fulfill their commitments and obligations in terms of transparency.

• reference free and open source solutions, in the GouvTech catalog
• reference the free software and digital commons significantly used by the administration in the interdepartmental open source software base
• highlighting significantly used free and open source libraries;
• Reuse source code developed by other administrations;
• Support administrations in the creation of digital commons for the conduct of public policies.

• reference codes and libraries published by administrations
• Enhance the value of source codes with a high reuse potential; build an inventory of unpublished source codes that could be reused.
• And to highlight the contributions of the administration to the ecosystem of free software (solutions and libraries) and digital commons.
