Proposal for a Spatial Organization Model in Soil Science (The Example of the European Communities Soil Map).

King, D.; And Others

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, v45 n9 p705-17 Oct 1994

Discusses the computational problems of automating paper-based spatial information. A new relational structure for soil science information based on the main conceptual concepts used during conventional cartographic work is proposed. This model is a computerized framework for coherent description of the geographical variability of soils, combined with other environmental criteria. (75 references) (KRN)
