Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

Soil quality — Digital exchange of soil-related data
AMENDMENT 1
Introduction
Replace Figure 1 with the following one:
Figure 1 — Common data exchanges in soil quality

Clause 1
Add the following paragraph at the end of the second paragraph:
"(Meta-)Data about the quality of soil information can be included according to ISO 19157."

Clause 3
At the end of definition 3.1, add the following note:
"Note 2 to entry: ISO 19156:2011 uses the term specimen for what is called a sample in soil science."
In Note 1 of 3.20, replace the term “profile information” by “soil profile information” as follows:
"Note 1 to entry: All types of plots only provide locality, but not soil information itself. For example, a
borehole is the location where you gather the information to abstract a soil profile information from."
In 3.33, replace the term “profile” by “soil profile” in the definition, as follows:
"excavation prepared to carry out soil profile descriptions, sampling, and/or field tests"

ISO 28258:2013/Amd.1:2019(E)
4.1
In the first paragraph, replace the term “soil quality data” by “soil-related data” as follows:
"This International Standard is specifically made for the exchange of soil-related data. It does
not deal with the nevertheless very common use and exchange data from other disciplines, like
geotechnics, geo-information, or groundwater investigation and management."
In the fourth paragraph, replace the term “soil quality data” by “soil-related data” as follows:
"If soil-related data defined according to this International Standard are combined with other kinds
of data, the soil-related part shall be performed, using the XML namespace “ISO 28258”."
In the last paragraph but one, replace the term “soil quality data” by “soil-related data” and the term
“soil quality information” by “soil-related information” as follows:
"Clause 5 provides the information model for the exchange of soil-related data used in this
International Standard. All soil-related information shall (eventually) refer to a specific place
(point, location, mapping unit) in or under the surface of the earth. For all geographical information,
the ISO 19100 family of International Standards is used."

4.2
Replace the title “Requirements worked out” by "Provisions for flexible adaptation".
Replace the first paragraph with the following:
"This International Standard requires that the exchange of soil-related data uses an information
model based on ISO 19156. The general model of ISO 19156 is adapted to soil-related data;
maintaining flexibility as regards the attribute parameters."

ISO 28258:2013/Amd.1:2019(E)
5.1
Replace Figure 2 with the following one:
Figure 2 — Inner structure of soil information and its setting within other standards

5.2.1 d), e) and f)
Replace the term “SF_Process” by “OM_Process” and the term “Profile” by “SoilProfile” as follows:
"d) The OM_Process is restricted to PreparationProcess."
"e) FeatureType of Observation: featureOfInterest is restricted to Site, Plot, SoilProfile, ProfileElement,
and SoilSpecimen including all their subclasses. It means that only properties of these feature types
may be observed."
"f) FeatureType of SF_SamplingFeature: sampledFeature is restricted to Site, Plot, SoilProfile, and
ProfileElement including all their subtypes."

5.2.3
In Tables 1 and 2, replace the term “Profile” by “SoilProfile”.
Replace the last paragraph with the following:
"An observation may be done only on observable properties of any feature of interest; however,
features of interest are restricted to Site, Plot, SoilProfile, ProfileElement (i. e. Layer and Horizon),
and SoilSpecimen, including all their subtypes. General observable properties introduced by this
model are listed in Table 2. Additional observable properties may be introduced by a data provider.
ISO 28258:2013/Amd.1:2019(E)
Any other properties introduced by this model except for those listed in Table 2 are considered to
be exact."

Add the following Note at the end of the last paragraph:
"NOTE The attribute extent of the feature SoilMap describes the spatial (geographic) extent of
the complete soil map. ISO 19107 refers to this as envelope."

after this existing row:
SoilMappingUnit explanation attribute CharacterString 1

Replace Figure 7 with the following one:
