Directory data and coverage
Understand the bilingual reference directory, its fields, source coverage and the distinction between a link check and an editorial review.
Coverage recorded in the directory
These counters describe what is recorded in the catalogue. They are not quality scores: an HTTP response is a technical observation, and a missing visual or review is reported rather than inferred.
- Records
- 232
- Documented profiles
- 232 / 232
- Records with a visual
- 221 / 232
- HTTP 200 observed
- 191 / 232
- Other HTTP responses

- Access errors
- 6
A 403, timeout or redirect can reflect automation limits, a site configuration or a changed address. It triggers review, but does not by itself justify removing a record.
Understand the fields
| Field | Meaning and limits |
|---|---|
id | Stable editorial slug shared by both language records. |
officialUrl | Destination recorded in the catalogue, separate from the internal record URL. |
publisher / origin | Recorded publisher and origin; origin is not the territory where a service is available. |
category / tags | Editorial classification and keywords, not a quality rating. |
description / recordUrls | French and English descriptions and links. |
documentationReviewed / documentation | Date and primary sources of the separate documented profile, when present. Null means not recorded. |
linkObservation | Dated HTTP response, redirect or verification error. A 403 may be an automated access restriction; it is not proof that the site is closed. |
previewType / capturedAt | Archived screenshot or identification graphic. A graphic is not a capture; its capture date is null. |
documentedProfile | Explanation, facts and FAQ available in each resource record. No separate profile is inferred when documentation is missing. |
workedMethod | Worked example with choices, steps, a source and a consultation date. Number of resources: 122. |
factEvidence / textEvidence / documentationAdditionsReviewed | Source and consultation date attached to individual facts or corrected passages where recorded. These dates do not renew the review of the whole resource or its technical link observation. |
documentaryPhoto | Real photograph with its caption, creator, original source and licence. A photograph may depict an earlier state of a place; it does not establish current access or services. |
Coverage by subject
232 / 232 resources have a separate documented profile with dated primary sources. The other records retain their description and use cases; do not interpret a technical audit as a full factual review.
| Subject | Records | Documented |
|---|---|---|
| Public services | 14 | |
| Health & solidarity | 14 | |
| Jobs & business | 14 | |
| Education & knowledge | 30 | |
| News & media | 17 | |
| Culture & heritage | 14 | |
| Search & artificial intelligence | 22 | |
| Digital tools | 40 | |
| Travel & mobility | 13 | |
| Consumer & home | 15 | |
| Science & environment | 17 | |
| World & international | 12 | |
| Sports & leisure | 10 |
Compare two observations over time
- Match rows by id, not by the display name: names and destinations can change.
- Compare each changed field and retain both observation dates. A redirect does not necessarily mean a change of publisher.
- Reopen primary documentation for a material change. Missing values and access errors are not factual corrections.

Understand the fields through documented examples
These reading exercises connect a resource’s specific fields to a practical question. Their documentation dates apply to the examples, not to every statement on the external website.
Common questions
Does an HTTP 200 prove that a resource is reliable?
No. It records a technical response at a particular time. It does not validate content, publisher identity, transactions or every language edition.
What does a blank review date mean?
No separate documentation review is recorded for that resource. A link observation is not a replacement review date.
Can I reuse the logos and photographs shown here?
Logos and third-party media retain their owners’ rights. Read the author credit, original source and licence attached to each photograph before considering reuse.
