Know co-branding
Verified 20 June 2017 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
Co-branding has been a service offered by the State to administrations since 2002. Its aim is to facilitate the dissemination of administrative information to the public and to bring together national and local data for better information for the user.
It allows local websites (websites of local authorities and their groupings) to redisseminate the guide of rights and procedures of the French administration portal, service-public.fr, by adopting the editorial charter of the local site, by supplementing it with local information (contact details of organizations, local tele-services, etc.) in order to offer the user an access adapted to his local context for his rights and procedures.
The DILA makes available all the practical fact sheets Your Rights and Approaches (about 3000) available on service-public.fr.
These documents are intended to provide users with first-level information and facilitate their daily administrative procedures. The fact sheets reference links to useful resources (forms, tele-services, reference texts, public websites, etc.) to guide users and provide clear answers to frequently asked questions.
The cards are grouped in three volumes corresponding to the target audiences: individuals, associations and professionals (more particularly oriented towards small and medium-sized Companies).
They are drafted by the multi-channel information department of the DILA, with the participation of central administrations, decentralized services and local authorities. They serve as a reference for the 39 39, Allô Service-Public.
Your rights and procedures are continuously updated and updated at least once a working day and several times if the news requires it. The data is distributed in XML format to provide content that is independent of its presentation. The XML format does not impose any particular technology for rebroadcasting for better interoperability.
In accordance with2002 framework agreement, the DILA shall make available raw data.
It does not provide any individualized support, service or methodological or technical assistance for the integration of data on local sites.
However, tools are available. They are described in the “Implementation” section.
A local website co-branded with service-public.fr provides the user with a more comprehensive and practical service than that already offered by the administration portal: it makes it possible to link national information on an administrative approach to the services competent locally to accomplish them (local contact details, opening hours, access plan, services offered, etc.).
Open data solution
The data are freely available under open license since 2011.
The integration of the data on the community site remains the responsibility of the community.
It therefore requires either:
- the powers of the local authority's IT department;
- a service or solution from its provider.
- It should be noted that many providers now offer co-branding with Service-public.fr in their offer.
It is also possible to find turnkey commercial solutions that can be integrated directly into a local site by the local IT department or its provider.
History and reference texts
At the service-public.fr steering committee in June 2000, local and regional authorities asked the State to have free access to the data from service-public.fr in order to redisseminate them on their websites.
As early as March 2001, a working group led by the Interministerial Delegation for State Reform (DIT) examined the various possible solutions and set out guidelines.
The DILA then set up an experimental solution allowing the 17 pilot local services to redisseminate service-public.fr data on their websites and to supplement them with local information.
The generalization of co-marking began on 30 September 2002 following the signing of an institutional agreement between the State and elected representatives' associations (31 July 2002) and a partnership agreement between DILA and Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations (22 August 2002) for the industrial deployment of co-marking.
Co-branding is part of the government program "ELEctronique 2004/2007" (Adele), launched by the Prime Minister in February 2004.
