<div>Subject: call for abstracts WCSS 2022 Glasgow now open, session on soil </div>
<div>information standards and systems</div>
<div>Date: Thu, 30 Sep 2021 19:40:54 +0200</div>

</div>
<div>Dear soil data champion,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Apologies for cross-posting.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As you might have heard, the World Congress on Soil Science (WCSS) of the International Union of Soil Science (IUSS), organised by the British Society of Soil Science, will take place in Glasgow, UK from 31 July to 5 August 2022. The call for abstracts
is now open (deadline 31 October 2021).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We would like to bring to your attention the fact that there will be a session entitled ‘Soil information standards and systems - current initiatives and advances’ organised by the IUSS working group on Soil Information Standards.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As a person with an interest in and/or have worked on soil information systems, soil data exchange and related standards in one or more initiatives and networks (like Global soil data exchange, ESIP Soil Ontology, GODAN Soil Data WG, OGC Agriculture DWG
and others) you may wish to consider submitting a paper.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>A description of the session can be found below.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We’d welcome abstracts that meet the objectives of the session and are convinced that there are a lot of new developments and good examples in this field that can inspire and provide direction to others. Our aim is to share knowledge and connect the communities
of soil and data experts working on this topic.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>More information on submitting an abstract is available on Abstracts - 22nd World Congress of Soil Science (22wcss.org) and attached.</div>
<div>The session is in principle in person, but we are informed that discussions are still going on about how to hybridise the sessions and some sort of remote access is very likely possible. We therefore encourage you to submit anyway, also if your country
currently has travel restrictions in place.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please consider submitting an abstract to this session, reach out to us if you have any questions and forward this email to other soil data enthusiasts and experts.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We hope to see you in Glasgow next year!</div>

<div>32</div>
<div>WG1.6 Soil information standards and systems - current initiatives and advances.</div>
<div>Convenors: Fenny van Egmond; David Medyckyj-Scott</div>
<div>There is a growing interest in (inter)national soil information systems (SIS) to expose and exchange standardised soil information as a basis for soil research, policy and decision making. This session has the following objectives.</div>
<div>Presentation of ideas, issues, and experiences on the design, management and use of SIS.</div>
<div>Discuss emerging (data) standards and technologies and their future applications to SIS evolution.</div>
<div>Suggest ways to improve the soil data workflow from data collection to linking standardised provisioned soil data with other data systems.</div>
<div>Discuss social and legal issues related to sharing soil information through SIS like governance, security, data privacy and (indigenous) data sovereignty.</div>
<div>Present use cases of demonstrated benefits of SIS for users.</div>
