The file represents a UML model of the GLOSIS domain model. The Global Soil Partnership's open-access Global Soil Information System is a spatial data infrastructure 
that brings together soil information collected by national institutions and other data holding entities. High quality soil information and data in terms of 
comparability and spatial coverage are of paramount importance to address global, national and field-scale challenges. GLOSIS connects Soil Information Systems and 
provides a decentralized global soil data platform that is nationally/regionally federated and globally harmonized. It delivers a spatial data infrastructure that 
allows national institutes to compile and share their own soil data and enables end-users to perform comparative studies on environmental issues that are trans-boundary. 
The implementing body of GLOSIS is the International Network of Soil Information Institutions (INSII). (https://www.fao.org/global-soil-partnership/areas-of-work/soil-information-and-data/en/)
