<p><i><span lang="EN-GB">There is a growing interest and developments 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:</span></i><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><i><span lang="EN-GB">• Presentation of ideas, issues and experiences on the design, management and use of SIS.</span></i><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><i><span lang="EN-GB">• Discuss emerging (data) standards and technologies and their future applications to SIS evolution.</span></i><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><i><span lang="EN-GB">• Discuss metadata standards application and standardised workflows</span></i><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><i><span lang="EN-GB">• Suggest ways to improve the soil information workflow from data collection to linking standardised provisioned soil data with other data systems.</span></i><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><i><span lang="EN-GB">• Discuss social and legal issues related to sharing soil information through SIS like governance, security, data privacy and (indigenous) data sovereignty.</span></i><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><i><span lang="EN-GB">• Present use cases of demonstrated benefits of SIS for users</span></i><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="FR">If you have advances and good examples on this topic that you’d like to share with the soil data and soil science community, please consider submitting an abstract and coming to Florence!</span><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
