In January 2023 EJP SOIL is organising a follow-up of the successful training for information providers on harmonising soil data and publishing it online according to INSPIRE best practices (April 2022). Evaluations from the last training suggested a more hands-on and practical approach. During this masterclass soil datasets, brought in by participants, will be prepared and assimilated towards a harmonised pan European dataset. The masterclass invites both starters, with an ambition to get familiar with the relevant technologies, and soil data experts, bringing in their experiences in soil data assimilation and dissemination. Participants are invited to contribute datasets to be processed during the masterclass.
The masterclass focuses on four topics relevant to data assimilation:
Each topic will start with a general overview, then participants will be working in subgroups on implementing the topic on a contributed dataset of a participant, in a technology they are most familiar with. Experts and cookbooks on various technologies will be available to guide the process. Every topic is concluded with elevator pitches from the subgroups highlighting their results and learning points.
