Project Management Overview

A sample-based project is the unit on which SoLIM Solutions performs database management, field sample importing and soil inference. A complete definition for a project consists of three components:

   1.Project file(.sip): This file contains project configurations and the link to the sample file used in a project.

  2.Environmental data layers (GIS database) containing raster data layers needed for inference: The files must be in 3dMapper raster format (.3dr) in a subdirectory named "GISData".  This subdirectory must be in the same directory as the project file.

  3. Field sample file (.csv): This file records the locations (X, Y coordinates) of field samples and the soil properties and/or soil types at sample location.

A project is stored in a project directory. Soil inference requires a GIS database and a field sample file
