Implementing INSPIRE in the Field of
Soil
– Initial ResultsEinar Eberhardt, Stefanie Richter

• Soil spatial information –German Soil Map 1 : 200,000
• Full harmonization of data across federal state boundaries
• Complex model or complex data?

Profile database – organic C example for horizon information

Harmonisation by using semi-quantitative class range values
class h3 = 2 - <4% org. subst. 1.17 – 2.32% Corg

Current challenge – extending parameter lists
Registry –
DS Soil requires defining parameter names for attribute data by extending codes of external codelists (e.g. INSPIRE Registry at JRC)
German codelist registry at GDI-DE not yet supports this
JRC maybe with EU-wide agreement between domain experts
INSPIRE 2016, Barcelona 29.09.2016 11
Full harmonization of data across German federal state boundaries
• legal data provision requirements
• themes: grain size fractions (soil texture), organic carbon and carbonate content, coarse fragment share, erodibility, cation exchange capacity (nutrient retention, filter function), plant available and total water capacity within 100 cm soil, water permeability (water drainage)
• using the range type for including semi-quantitative classes instead of class names
• chemical parameters are used with (simple) land use classes• using the same part of the data model, the same classes, the
same portrayal
INSPIRE 2016, Barcelona 29.09.2016 12
Full harmonization of data across German federal state boundaries
using the
• same method to derive the values from existing soil data
• same part of the data model
• same classes
• same portrayal
• same meta-data entries, in particular naming the dataset and keywords

Complex model or complex data – Earth Science Custer
https://themes.jrc.ec.europa.eu/groups/profile/1821/soil
INSPIRE 2016, Barcelona 29.09.2016 14
Complex model or complex data - Suggested improvements
• Multiplicity of the soilDerivedObjectObservation
• Parameter list main entries
• Change ParticleSizeFractionType
• Extension of a codelist
... making data provision less complex, but not the model...
Soil sub-cluster / Earth Science Cluster:

Reducing complexity ...?
• Soil Data Model‘s flexibility ...
complex appearance
very few solutions work for many data mapping and encoding challenges
• flexibility enhances data provision substantially
... wait for good examples before you simplify the model ...
INSPIRE 2016, Barcelona 29.09.2016 16
Wrap up
• German Soil Map – Geometries legends done / profiles coming soon
• Data model is suitable for this kind of data• INSPIRE is a motivation to fully harmonize data across
federal state boundaries
• Implementation will need some more time• It is too early to think about data model simplification
• (Too) simple data models make data provision complex and reduce data quality decrease use of data
