Abstract

Soils are probably the most critical natural resource in Agriculture, and soils security represents a critical growing global issue. Soils experiments require vast amounts of high-quality data, are very hard to be reproduced, and there are few studies about data provenance of such tests. We present OpenSoils; it shares knowledge about data-centric soils experiments. OpenSoils is a provenance-oriented and lightweight e-infrastructure that collects, stores, describes, curates and, harmonizes various soil datasets.
