WoSIS dashboard released

ISRIC - World Soil Information released a dashboard that provides a quick insight into the present World Soil Information Service (WoSIS) holdings.

WoSIS is a compilation of cleansed and standardised soil profile data for the world that is free and open access. The latest dynamic version is available from the ISRIC Soil Data Hub.

"We are already working towards the next WoSIS release thanks to new data contributions from a wide range of data providers." said WoSIS project lead Niels Batjes. "This process includes re-factoring of the WoSIS workflow and improving ETL (extraction, load, transform) procedures by my colleague Luis Calisto, data base development expert." A special focus is on the processing of forest soil data for Europe within the framework of the EU-HoliSoils project mapping activities.
