In 2006, a Data Exchange Model for Archiving (MEDONA) was developed by the French Directorate of Archives (Ministry of Culture and Communication) and the Directorate-General for the modernization of the State (Ministry for Economic Affairs, Finance and Industry). The Model is currently being standardized by a working group of the French Association of Standardization including archivists of public archival agencies, storage services providers, software editors and IT consultants. MEDONA provides a model for the various specific transactions, which occur between the archival agencies and its partners (originating agencies, access requesters, other archival agencies, control authorities), i.e.: transfer; delivery; modification notification; destruction notification; restitution. Each transaction is modeled as a scenario for exchange of messages. These messages are formally defined as XML schemas.
