I would recommend COMCAST XML Schema, a free and open schema definition
for all kinds of (amateur-) astronomical observations.
COMAST XML Schema was developed by the german "Fachgruppe für
Computerastronomie <http://www.computer-astronomie.de/>" (section for
computerastronomy) which is a subsection of Germanys largest astronomy
union (VDS - Vereinigung der Sternfreunde e.V. <http://www.vds-astro.de/>))

Try "Observation Manager",  a open logbook for (amateur-) astronomical
observations, written in free java, to see how it works.
