e-LogbooksA guide to e-Logbooks for vendorsOur approach with electronic logbooks is to make publicly available the data transfer specification for electronic logbook reporting. Software developers can then develop an electronic logbook product for capturing and returning logbook data to Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA). AFMA will accept electronic logbook reports provided the data AFMA received meets published specifications. Software developers wishing to develop an electronic logbook returns system must provide their software to AFMA for accreditation, a process to ensure that the software will send electronic logbook reports which meet the AFMA specifications. Developers must register with AFMA prior to lodging software for accreditation. AFMA is currently developing a series of test scenarios which a software product must pass to be certified before AFMA will accept electronic logbook reports from these software products. The electronic logbook reporting data specifications are method and or fishery specific. Specifications are developed and schemas released when there is sufficient interest from a fishery. The current releases and an accompanying information package can be downloaded here or obtained by email application to the Co-ordinator at elogs@afma.gov.au.
