DAPLOS is an EDIFACT message present in the UN/CEFACT Directory D.05B. This is a syntax to represent data concerning input and techniques used on crops with the intention to facilitate information exchange with suppliers, traders and other partners in the agrifood supply chain. It is a messaging format for EDIFACT. It is focussed on crops grown on a specific “plot” i.e. field or geographical area. It enables the farmer to specify the type of crop grown on the plot, the variety, preceding crops, any pesticides or herbicides used, etc. and allows an ebXML message to be created.

The standard covers

- General points on the plot sheet (dates, species, variety, area, contracts, etc.)

- History of the plot (previous crops, enrichment, etc.)

- Analysis (details of soil analyses carried out on the plot.)

- Events (i.e. all events such as observations, advice, actions taken, etc.)

Notes on assessment:

It was developed by the UN/EDIFACT committees but has been further supported by AgroEDI Europe. It has had particular support from the French agricultural community and contains features specific to the French agrifood context. This standard is a syntax primarily with very few elements defined in a semantic way (dates, longitude, latitude). The main problem this standard faces is that as an EDI standard, there is a high cost for farmers and other actors to use it. According to (Mietzsch et al. 2013), the desire to have no proprietary claims has led to the absence of implementation guidelines, which appears to mean in practice the absence of any semantics. It would appear that e-DAPLOS is being integrated into a standard called e-CROP (also in this directory). First assessment by Christopher Brewster.
