  1. “Alpine Soil Information System” A Part of the European Soil portal - A step towards harmonization of Soil Information in Europe Panos Panagos, Luca Montanarella, Marc Van Liedekerke SOMIS: http://eusoils.jrc.it Schruns 11/10/2004

  2. INSPIRE Principle:Accessing, exchanging and delivering spatial data Intends to trigger the creation of a European spatial information infrastructure that delivers to the users integrated spatial information services SOMIS: http://eusoils.jrc.it Schruns 11/10/2004

  3. Soils Portal: http://eusoils.jrc.itThe contribution of the S&W Unit to the building of a thematic spatial data infrastructure on soils • Data • The European Soil Data Base v2 Raster Archive • European Soil Database • Documents • European Soil Bureau Research Reports-Other Research Reports &Papers • European Soil Data Base Map Archive • Applications • SOMIS (SOil Map Internet Server): Standalone web-based application • Map Viewer:Web Mapping Service (WMS) application (OGC compliant) • European Soils by theme • Soil Erosion • Projects • Development of a prototype for the update of European soil data (INSPIRE) • Events (Conferences, Workshops, Meetings, Summer School) *Mailing list: In order to keep interested persons up to date. SOMIS: http://eusoils.jrc.it Schruns 11/10/2004

  4. Data (1): Raster Archive • 10k x 10k rasters derived from the 1:1,000,000 ESDB data • Free public access to these degraded but usable data (models) • Raster data files for 73 attributes: • Soil Database Attributes • Pedotransfer Database Attributes • In 2 co-ordinate systems: • GISCO Lambert Azimuth co-ordinate system • LAEA_ERTS INSPIRE Reference Grid: LambertAzimuthalEqualArea • Initial point for the development of a prototype system for updating data • 10x10 Km Grid inherit the most frequent value among the 100 pixel of 1x1 Km SOMIS: http://eusoils.jrc.it Schruns 11/10/2004

  5. Data (2):Distribution of Soil Database • Soil Database (distribution version 1) will be available on CD-ROM through the OPOCE (by the end of 2004) • Distribution consists of 4 components • Soil Geographical Database of Europe • Pedotransfer Rules database • Soil Profile Analytical database • Database of Hydraulic properties • Distribution version 2 is under construction • Full Database documentation will be available in the Soil Portal: • Metadata • Database Dictionaries • Attributes coding • Only the Raw data will not be distributed SOMIS: http://eusoils.jrc.it Schruns 11/10/2004

  6. Documents(1): Research Reports - Papers • A repository for European Soil Bureau Network Research Reports (19 reports) • A common place for other research reports and papers (11 reports) • Multilingual versions of Reports (Example: Manual of Procedures Version 1.1) SOMIS: http://eusoils.jrc.it Schruns 11/10/2004

  7. Documents(2): Map Archive Example map : volume of stones • Collection of maps representing all attributes: • Soil Database Attributes • Pedotransfer Database Attributes • PDF format (A3), sizes typically between 1 and 2 MB • Dominant value Maps • For each theme, 3 maps available: • Thematic • Purity: is an indicator of the quality of a thematic map • Confident:an indicator of the quality of an attribute value (provided by the contributor) SOMIS: http://eusoils.jrc.it Schruns 11/10/2004

  8. Simple Map operations: Zooming, panning, querying, layering User can view and inspect soil data but cannot download User friendly application – No need for specific S/W(only web browser) Fully documented (Contents of European Soil Database CD-ROM) 2 Map applications : multiple soil related layers (Grouped in 3 categories) single WRB soil layer Built with free web mapping software – Open Source (Minnesota MapServer) Applications (1): SOMIS (SOil Map Internet Server) Standalone web-based application for the navigation of soil related maps SOMIS: http://eusoils.jrc.it Schruns 11/10/2004

  9. Applications(2) SOMIS: http://eusoils.jrc.it SOMIS: http://eusoils.jrc.it Schruns 11/10/2004

  10. Runs as a server to serve maps to WMS clients (e.g. INSPIRE Map Viewer) Combine layers of maps located in different Map servers all around the World Applications(3): Map Viewer Web Mapping Service (WMS) application (OGC compliant) user Regions Map Soils Map SOMIS: http://eusoils.jrc.it Schruns 11/10/2004

  11. Applications(4): Map Viewer INSPIRE Map Viewer: Integrates maps residing on multiple spatial servers SOMIS: http://eusoils.jrc.it Schruns 11/10/2004

  12. European Soils by theme: Soil Erosion • Place to make available information about Soil themes • CD-ROM: Nature & Extent of Soil Erosion in Europe (PESERA project) • Pan European Soil Erosion estimates (t/ha/yr) data (from PESERA project) • More data will be available in this section (Organic Carbon) SOMIS: http://eusoils.jrc.it Schruns 11/10/2004

  13. Projects(1): Development of Prototype • European 10k x 10k raster derived from the 1:1,000,000 ESDB data • Question: How those grids can be updated? • A proposed 1st step(methodology): • Regional data providers would send data in rasterformat (participatory approach) to JRC • JRC would then integrate the regional data in updated European rasters. • Is it according to INSPIREprinciples? Example: WRB_LV1 Soil reference group code (WRB) SOMIS: http://eusoils.jrc.it Schruns 11/10/2004

  14. Projects(2): Development of Prototype • 10k x 10k raster derived from the Italian Eco-pedological map (scale 1:250.000) • Data are more accurate and detailed • The 1k x 1k raster Grid is even more accurate(the images can be compared) • JRC identifies Regions in Europe where this prototype can be developed! Example: RIF_S1 Soil reference group code(WRB)? SOMIS: http://eusoils.jrc.it Schruns 11/10/2004

  15. ALPINE CONVENTION Soil protection is one of the main issues that has been put forward by the Alpine Convention (signed also a Soil Protection Protocol in 1998) The Soil Protection Protocol of the Alpine Convention promotes cooperation among member states, particularly in setting up soil databases France Switzerland Germany Italy Liechtenstein Austria Slovenia European Communities SOMIS: http://eusoils.jrc.it Schruns 11/10/2004

  16. ECALP Project ECopedological map of ALPs • Create a useful network among regional and national institutions which own and manage soil data • Exchange of knowledge and experience among different regions, different countries • Achieve the setting up and updating of a shared soil database for the Alps • Use of participatory approach, according to the principles of the INSPIRE • Exchange of harmonised soil information • Develop common procedures to allow data exchange, updating and evaluation for some application purposes • Give an overview of available information on alpine soils SOMIS: http://eusoils.jrc.it Schruns 11/10/2004

  17. ECALP Project (Activities) • Choice of pilot areas, one for each partner, within the territory of the Alpine Convention, according to their relevance with respect to soil related issues • AUSTRIA • ITALY (Regions: Lombardia, Friuli Venezia-Giulia, Veneto, Piemonte) • FRANCE (Region: Rhône-Alpes) • SLOVENIA • SWITZERLAND • Definition of a common format for data exchange • Testing of the exchange format in sample areas • Filling in the exchange format and updating • Working out a first draft of “Ecopedological Map of the Alps” by means of available harmonised data (European Soil Database at scale 1:1.000.000, Ecopedological Map of Italy 1:250.000 scale). • State of the art of the project and related documents are available at the net (http://eusoils.jrc.it/projects/alpsis/MainAlpine.html). SOMIS: http://eusoils.jrc.it Schruns 11/10/2004

  18. SPATIAL DATA FORMAT • Elementary mapping units: pixel format • Standard European reference grid is used, according to INSPIRE principles • All rasters should be produced according to to the nested grid system proposed for the European reference Grid (1k, 10k, 100k…) • Co-ordinate system (ETRS_LAEA) • Integrated with other environmental and territorial information • Pixel size has been set to 1 km for pilot areas and 10 km for the entire alpine territory • Use of unique labelling of grid cells • The data values provided by the Italian raster should match classes/instructions imposed by the European level • How often the data will be updated? SOMIS: http://eusoils.jrc.it Schruns 11/10/2004

  19. Regular Grids VS Soil Maps • Disadvantages of polygon approach: • Higher Complexity of description • Many data requirements • Harmonization is needed • Different semantic definitions • Resource Consuming • Advantages of pixel approach.Pixel can: • easy to be filled and updated • useful to support a multi-scale approach (bottom-up) • suitable to represent output data for environmental reporting (policy relevant information, indicators) • easy to be integrated with other environmental indicators on different layers. 1 km grid 10 km grid SOMIS: http://eusoils.jrc.it Schruns 11/10/2004
