Soil is one of the essential natural resource for plant growth and agricultural production. Besides, there are other soil related concerns in environmental protection, pollution control, carbon sequestration vis-à-vis climate change, organic farming and other aspects of land use. Therefore, there is a need for an easily accessible and standardized soil information database at both temporal and spatial scales which can act as soil information technology (SIT). The SIT would allow a rational transfer of agricultural technologies and management practices and prove to be a sound reference base to facilitate effective transfer of soil information to those involved in planning, decision making and implementation. Web-based technology has facilitated the web publication of geo-referenced soil and other information that will be user-friendly and interactive with wider applicability and can be used by the stakeholders at any time and from any geographical locations. The present paper outlines a conceptual framework of WebGeoSIS, a web-based geo-referenced soil information system, that provides (i) access to soil and related data, (ii) tools to analyze the soil data, and (iii) capabilities to visualize all data in a map- based interface which can pave the way for developing soil information technology.
