Theme <Soil>
• Soil inventories, providing a one-off assessment of soil conditions and/or properties at a point in time, and soil monitoring, providing a series of assessments showing how soil conditions and/or properties change over time.
• Soil mapping, enabling to identify areas with similar soil genesis and soil properties.
• Thematic maps derived from soil information
Scope

Way of working
• Two parallel processes:– Based on existing databases, ISO norms, EU projects
development of an UML model.– Description of Use Cases which were used to calibrate and
validate the soil model.

Need for Soil Data
• Increasing• Prevention and mitigation of soil degradation• Optimalisation sustainable agricultural and forest production• Mitigation effects climate change• Mitigation effects soil contamination• Applications: very few at an European level; at national scale
probably many hundreds. More than 100 User requirements and Reference Material were submitted.
• No EU directive is directly dealing with soils; European Soil Thematic Strategy adopted.

Use Cases described• Agri-Environmental Indicators:
– Use Case Environmental Indicator Soil Erosion– Use Case Environmental Indicator Soil Quality– Use Case Environmental Indicator Contaminated Sites
• Thematic maps– Land irrigation suitability in Navarra (Spain)– Development of methodologies for soil salinity surveillance in the middle Ebro basin
(Spain)– MARS project (Monitoring Agricultural Resources)– Restrictions for N and P in agriculture– Calculation threshold trace elements– Use of Soil Scape Viewer– Establishment Less Favoured Areas (France)
• Contaminated sites– Contaminated Land Register Austria– Use Case drinking water and soil contamination– Use Case Ecology and contamination– Use Case Contamination in relation to property
• Soil Monitoring– Use Case State of soil in Europe

Soil model
• Core soil model• Modeled 4 use cases to show how the core can be extended
so that these cases are able to function.

Major real world phenomena modelled
• Soil profiles• Soil sites, soil plots, soil samples• Soil delineated areas (determination based on certain soil
characteristics)• Soil characteristics changing over time. Soil monitoring.• Soil contamination

Challenges met during modelling
• Scale depending items: introduction soil complex• Not all national soil classification systems are compatible with
the international soil classification system WRB (which is adopted as the international standard)
• DIS ISO 19156:2010 (Observation and Measurements) was still under development during modeling work.
• All Use Cases are based on the highest level of detail to be found in the profile descriptions.
• Detailing the core.
INSPIRE progress 10

Questions to be answered during testing
• Is the model applicable in praxis?• Makes the level of detail sense?• Are elements forgotten or too abundant?
