Excerpt
Over the years, ISRIC—World Soil Information has developed and maintained a number of (soil information) databases that are freely available for the scientific community and other non-commercial groups. Int the past decade, however, dissemination opportunities have changed drastically as a result of new (web) technologies that permit faster and new frms of information delivery. Strategies adjusted to these opportunities are being pursued for improved information retrieval and dissemination. In this context, ISRIC has implemented a centralized and user focused database ('world soil database') containing only validated and authorized data - preferably with known and registered accuracy and quality.
