  1. Theme <Soil> Scope • 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 INSPIRE Conference, Edinburgh

  2. Way of working • Twoparallelprocesses: • Based on existing databases, ISO norms, EU projectsdevelopmentof an UML model. • DescriptionofUse Cases whichwere used to calibrate and validatethesoilmodel. INSPIRE progress

  3. Need for Soil Data • Increasing • Prevention and mitigationofsoildegradation • Optimalisationsustainableagricultural and forest production • Mitigationeffectsclimatechange • Mitigationeffectssoilcontamination • Applications: veryfew at an European level; at national scaleprobablymanyhundreds. More than 100 User requirements and Reference Material weresubmitted. • No EU directive is directlydealingwithsoils; European SoilThematicStrategyadopted. INSPIRE progress

  4. 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 INSPIRE progress

  5. Use cases and legislation INSPIRE progress

  6. Soil model • Coresoilmodel • Modeled 4 use cases to show howthecorecan be extended so thatthese cases areable to function. INSPIRE progress

  7. UC 2 UC 3 UC 1 UC 4 Coremodel INSPIRE progress

  8. Major real world phenomena modelled • Soilprofiles • Soilsites, soil plots, soil samples • Soildelineated areas (determinationbased on certainsoilcharacteristics) • Soilcharacteristicschanging over time. Soilmonitoring. • Soilcontamination INSPIRE progress

  9. Soil profiles Monitoring Thematic maps Soil maps INSPIRE progress

  10. Challenges met during modelling • Scaledependingitems: introductionsoilcomplex • Not all national soilclassification systems arecompatiblewiththeinternationalsoilclassification system WRB (which is adopted as theinternational standard) • DIS ISO 19156:2010 (Observation and Measurements) was still under development during modelingwork. • All Use Cases arebased on thehighestlevelofdetail to be found in theprofiledescriptions. • Detailingthecore. INSPIRE progress

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

  12. Thanks for your attention INSPIRE progress
