Excerpt
To support the Danube strategy the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC) has proposed soil data collection within the Danube basin based on SOTER methodologies. The SOTER[TM] (SOil and TERrain) methodology is a comprehensive framework making soil and terrain data available for end users.
This report describes the template for the SOTER database and forms for entering data with two worked examples. The tool is presented in Microsoft-Access format, in accordance with the SOTER procedures Manual (van Engelen and Dijkshoorn 2013), with some structural changes required to improve the database structure itself (Appendix 1), but not the SOTER conventions themselves (Appendix 2).
