| inspireId |
Identifier
(datatype)
|
|
External object identifier of the profile element.
-- Description --
NOTE An external object identifier is a unique object identifier published by the responsible body, which may be used by external applications to reference the spatial object. The identifier is an identifier of the spatial object, not an identifier of the real-world phenomenon.
|
| - localId |
CharacterString |
|
A local identifier, assigned by the data provider. The local identifier is unique within the namespace, that is no other spatial object carries the same unique identifier.
-- Description --
NOTE It is the responsibility of the data provider to guarantee uniqueness of the local identifier within the namespace.
|
| - namespace |
CharacterString |
|
Namespace uniquely identifying the data source of the spatial object.
-- Description --
NOTE The namespace value will be owned by the data provider of the spatial object and will be registered in the INSPIRE External Object Identifier Namespaces Register.
|
| - versionId |
CharacterString |
|
The identifier of the particular version of the spatial object, with a maximum length of 25 characters. If the specification of a spatial object type with an external object identifier includes life-cycle information, the version identifier is used to distinguish between the different versions of a spatial object. Within the set of all versions of a spatial object, the version identifier is unique.
-- Description --
NOTE The maximum length has been selected to allow for time stamps based on ISO 8601, for example, "2007-02-12T12:12:12+05:30" as the version identifier.
NOTE 2 The property is void, if the spatial data set does not distinguish between different versions of the spatial object. It is missing, if the spatial object type does not support any life-cycle information.

ParticleSizeFractionType
(datatype)
|
|
Mineral part of the soil, fractioned on the basis of size (diameter), limits of the particles. It indicates how much of the mineral soil material is composed of soil particles of the specified size range.

|
Percentage of the defined fraction.

NOTE sum of the percentages of all the fractions should be equal to 100 percentage

|
upper and lower limit of the particle size of the defined fraction (expressed in µm)
-- Description --

EXAMPLE upper limit = 63µm , lower limit =20µm

| profileElementDepthRange |
RangeType
(datatype)
|
|
Upper and lower depth of the profile element (layer or horizon) measured from the surface (0 cm) of a soil profile (in cm).
-- Description --
Depth range consists of the average upper and lower depth of appearance of the profile element from the surface.
NOTE Most soil boundaries are zones of transition rather than sharp lines of division. The average depth of the upper boundaries and the average depth of the lower boundaries of each profile element are given in centimetres, measured from the surface (including organic and mineral covers) of the soil downwards, i.e. all depth values are positive numbers.
EXAMPLE H horizon 0-5 cm, A horizon 5-30 cm, B horizon 30-80 cm
NOTE Following rules should be taken into account
<ul>
<li>lowerValue and upperValue: should be positive values, </li>
<li>upperValue is the depth from the top of the element (e.g. 20)</li>
<li>lowerValue is the depth of the bottom of the element (e.g. 40)</li>
<li>if only upperValue is indicated: it is assumed that the lowerValue is unknown; this is only possible for the deepest layer or horizon of a profile.</li>
<li>if only lowerValue is indicated: it is assumed that the upperValue equals 0, and thus the range is between 0 and the lowerValue value</li>
</ul> |
| - upperValue |
Real |
|
value defining the upper limit of a specific property.
|
| - lowerValue |
Real |
|
value defining the lower limit of a specific property.
|
| - uom |
UnitOfMeasure |
|
The unit of measure that is used to express the values of the range. |
| beginLifespanVersion |
DateTime |
|
Date and time at which this version of the spatial object was inserted or changed in the spatial data set.
|
| endLifespanVersion |
DateTime |
|
Date and time at which this version of the spatial object was superseded or retired in the spatial data set.

|
designation of the soil horizon.
-- Description --
The FAO horizon notation is a code system characterizing horizons regarding the dominant soil forming processes that have been active during the horizon formation. This code summarizes many observations of the soil description and gives an impression about the genetic processes that have formed the soil under observation.
NOTE The horizon notation is a combination of several letter, number and symbols.
