Existing diverse structures describing national and international sets of soils, strictly speaking, are not classifications. These are nothing more than lists of soil names arranged in a certain order: by natural zones and vegetation, series, etc. The necessary provisions of the scientific concept of classifications are not used: indicators of similarity - soil differences, assessments of the information content of attributes, quality criteria and comparison of classifications, formal recognition rules for new soils, etc. Therefore, the mentioned lists of soils should be considered as source material for the creation of these classifications. Such lists are absolutely necessary to represent the real diversity of soil profiles and take into ac- count the opinions of various scientists and practitioners, to determine soil characteristics for the subsequent formation of the required attributes of formalized classifications. The article presents a complete algorithm (meta-algorithm) for con- structing a formal classification of soils as an addition and completion of traditional constructions. The meta-algorithm software includes a variety of software modules, tested over many years of use in solving real prob- lems. |
