SoilWise GeoPackage

Standardising Soil Data for Better Interoperability

The SoilWise GeoPackage provides a standardised and interoperable approach to managing, exchanging and using soil data.

This video introduces the SoilWise GeoPackage, its European policy and technical context, and the development from INSPIRE soil data models towards a practical GeoPackage-based solution. It also presents the integration of OGC SensorThings API 2.0, connecting structured soil information with dynamic observations and monitoring networks.

 

The video provides an overview of the SoilWise relational data model and demonstrates how the GeoPackage can be accessed and managed using QGIS and custom forms, with applications in QField for mobile and field-based data collection.

 

The SoilWise GeoPackage and accompanying technical documentation are available through the project’s GitHub and Zenodo repositories.
