Mapping Services and Techniques in the European Soil Portal

The European Soil Portal (http://eusoils.jrc.ec.europa.eu) offers a number of on-line applications and services to the public user. Due to the copyright limitations in the European Soil Database (as the data cannot be distributed for free), the Soil Portal has disseminated the information of the European Soil Database through various Applications via Internet. Distributing geographic information via the Internet allows for real-time integration of data from around the world. The software developed allows the users to exchange, integrate, and analyze data in new ways. Users can combine Soil data and information accessed via the Internet with their local data for display, query, and analysis.
