Abstract
Harmonised soil data across Europe with a 1:250 000 geo-referenced soil database will allow for exchange of data across member states and the provide the information needed for reporting on issues relating to soil quality under a future Soil Framework Directive. The current status of soils data available in Europe is inconsistent at best. The Irish Soil Information System (ISIS) project is currently developing a national soil map of 1:250,000 and an associated digital soil information system, providing both spatial and quantitative information on soil types and properties across Ireland. Both the map and the information system will be freely available to the public through a designated website.
