Abstract. In this technical note, we introduce a web-based application, the soil knowledge library (KLIB), for the compilation and classification of scientific publications on soil process research according to the specific site conditions and experimental boundary conditions. The tool was developed based on the understanding that experimental findings in soil science are highly dependent on soil type, land use and climate. The KLIB, therefore, goes beyond other available digital libraries by providing meta-data on the site conditions and experimental settings for each publication. A number of visualization tools have been developed to explore the contents of the literature database very efficiently in order to support and facilitate the literature search efforts of the users. The KLIB is designed as a collaborative effort to encourage soil scientists to participate by entering their own studies and extending the existing database.

土壤知识库 (KLIB) – 土壤过程研究的结构化文献数据库

摘要。在本技术说明中，我们介绍了一个基于网络的应用程序，即土壤知识库 (KLIB)，用于根据特定场地条件和实验边界条件对土壤过程研究的科学出版物进行汇编和分类。该工具的开发基于以下理解：土壤科学的实验结果高度依赖于土壤类型、土地利用和气候。因此，KLIB 超越了其他可用的数字图书馆，为每个出版物提供有关站点条件和实验设置的元数据。为了支持和促进用户的文献搜索工作，已经开发了许多可视化工具来非常有效地探索文献数据库的内容。
