Data and Info Serving
The last step of the development of a SIS is serving the data and information present in the SIS in an online environment to make it accessible for users. Data and information serving is the process of making soil data available within the organization as well as to partners and to the general public (i.e., publishing soil data). As part of soil data publication, it is important to consider aspects such as Findability, Accessibility Interoperability, and Reusability of data (FAIR). Because soil data are inherently spatial, conventions around data publication of the spatial data community are essential. The spatial data community with its standardization body, the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), has been successful in its definition and adoption of standards. A relevant concept from the geospatial data community is the Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI), a technical infrastructure to facilitate data sharing based on distributed components connected via standardized API’s.
This step introduces various standards and tools available to facilitate data and info sharing. More detailed technical information for developers on this topic can be found at the Soil Data Assimilation wiki developed by ISRIC in the context of the EJP SOIL project.
In 2021 the Global Soil Information System (GloSIS) has been designed as a federation of soil information systems, which share interoperable soil data sets via web services. GloSIS connects soil information users with soil data providers. The soil …
