Bordeaux Metropole DataHub: 562 Datasets Under the Licence Ouverte
This overview was generated with AI from the public sources listed below and checked against them before publication. It has not had a complete human fact-check — treat it as a starting point and follow the sources.
How this atlas is made · What “last verified” means · What “source-checked” means · The full record behind this page
Bordeaux Metropole opened a developer-facing data portal in June 2011 and the Ville de Bordeaux followed with a public-facing one in October 2012; the two were merged into a single Opendatasoft catalogue, rebranded the DataHub in June 2025. Counted through the portal's own API on 10 August 2026 it held 562 datasets, of which 549 carried an open licence: 520 under the French Licence Ouverte, 25 under its Etalab v1 and v2 variants, three under ODbL and one under GPLv3. Thirteen carried no licence at all. Beyond the catalogue the portal serves live feeds under the same terms — bike-share station status in the GBFS standard, road-traffic counts, roadworks and real-time parking occupancy.
what does this mean?
The strongest source is the operator's or the city's own reporting — an official report, dataset or press release. It grades who did the looking — not how well the project went. All four grades →📊 Impact
Self-counted through the catalogue API on 10 August 2026: 562 datasets, 549 with an open licence, 13 with none. Bordeaux Metropole publishes 351 of them and the Ville de Bordeaux 103; the rest come from member communes and other bodies. The portal's own reuse tables list 27 published reuses. A Bordeaux Metropole presentation of 14 March 2019 counted roughly 270,000 API calls on a typical day — 135,000 to the transit information feed, 45,000 to bike-share, 30,000 to traffic and 17,000 to real-time parking.
🎓 Lesson
The licence coverage is near-total but not total, and the gaps are structural rather than deliberate: twelve of the thirteen unlicensed datasets were uploaded by a small member commune (Le Haillan, Le Taillan-Medoc, Talence) or are the portal's own housekeeping tables. The thirteenth is Bordeaux Metropole's own, so the discipline gap sits mostly, but not only, with the smallest publishers.

Forensic record — source dossiers, gaps, hashes and the exact revision this page renders
This layer records what is known about each source, what is still missing, and the exact snapshot this page is rendering. A missing date, archive or hash stays visible as missing.
Awaiting operator and domain-expert review; publication of this revision implies neither.

Known limits of this passport
- Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
- Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
- A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
- The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
