Identification phase –
– achievements so far
• Report on Identified Requirements and Issues
• Consensus of the whole working team on key issues
• Contains
• Identified requirements on GloSIS Data Exchange Model
• Resolved conflicts between requirements
• Reached conclusions
• Mappings between soil body properties and
corresponding spatial features in Data Exchange
Model
• Basis for adding the soil properties
Questions Sli.do/INSII
Brief view on outcomes
359 soil body properties defined in line with Tier 1&2
Questions Sli.do/INSII
Reached conclusions
• ISO 28258 as a basis for the GLOSIS Data Exchange
Model
• Currently being enhanced (specialized) for identified soil
body properties
• Relevant concepts from ANZSoilML and SDIE included as
well
• Soil body properties
• According to the „Specifications for the Tier 1 and Tier 2
soil profile databases of the Global Soil Information
System (GLOSIS)“
• Concepts from the FAO Guidelines for Soil Description included
Questions Sli.do/INSII
Reached conclusions
• Codelists must be provided including all defined soil
properties
• Grids desired to be supported as well
• Not foreseen in ISO 28258
• XML as well as JSON-LD encodings are desired
• prepared by ISRIC in parallel
Questions Sli.do/INSII
Reached conclusions
• Some requirements were identified as not feasible
to fully address due to limited human power, time
and/or finances of the consultation contract
• Cooperation with Horizon 2020 research and
development project „SIEUSOIL“ (SIno-EU Soil
Observatory for Intelligent Land use Management)
• funded between 2019 and 2022
• https://www.sieusoil.eu/
Questions Sli.do/INSII
Modelling phase – ongoing work
• Conceptual expression of the GloSIS Data Exchange
Model in the UML (class diagram)
• revised and extended version of ISO 28258
• corrigendum of ISO 28258 basis foreseen as well
• XML Schema (XSD) for implementation
• Needs to be done „from scratch“, fixing ISO 28258 errors
• User testing, feedback and improvements of the
model
