Working directions:

• -Elaboration of the founding principles for soil cover

structure information database.

• - Scanning archive materials and their connection to

the national geodesic reference.

• - Vectorization and the introduction of soil contours

attribute information (SoilContour layer).

• - The use of modern technologies for soil mapping.

• - Creating a web portal and Geoweb services.

The obtained results

• Digital soil maps of the soil cover structure

• Database of soil quality

• Digital layers “Soils”, “Soils Profiles”, “Hidro”,

“Infrastructure” etc.

• Geoweb system for user access to digital data of

soil cover structure.

• GIS geoportal with published online resources.
