Abstract

The analysis, design, implementation, and potential benefits of the Western Australian soil profile database are described. Entity-relationship modelling has been used in the data analysis phase to identify the relational schema. The database has been implemented using the ORACLE relational database management system.The database has the capacity to provide detailed land resource information in hard copy report format, and when integrated into a Geographic Information System, the data can be viewed and retrieved in a spatial context with other data sets. Such information is important for researchers and land managers involved in sustainable agricultural systems.
