Abstract:	SDBm Plus: FAO-CSIC Multilingual Soil Profile Database is a derivative from the SDBm database (FAO-ISRIC-CSIC, World Soil Resources Reports 81, 1995) which has been developed by CSIC/IRNAS with the collaboration of FAO/AGLL through a joint project (Letter of Agreement PR 15621, 7.12.1999), during 1999 and 2000. The initial version of SDBm was the SDB database (FAO-ISRIC, World Soil Resources Reports 64, 1989). As its predecessors, SDBm Plus is an ‘open’ system which can be modified in the future. SDBm Plus has been totally re-designed and re-written as a WINDOWS application. It is a user-friendly software designed to harmonise, store and use large amounts of geo-referenced soil profile data, elaborated in the field and the laboratory, in an efficient and systematic way. The soil profile database can be utilised regardless of scale, at regional, national or local level, in soil monitoring and evaluation (M&E). The main characteristics of this database are the following: i) software development for WINDOWS platforms; ii) multilingual function and automatic translation from English, as source language, to other target languages (so far Spanish, French and German); iii) detailed soil profile characterisation following the conventional procedures of soil survey, making use of ‘assist menus’ in the selected language which greatly facilitates data storage; iv) possibility of monitoring the temporal variability of analytical, physical and hydraulic soil properties; v) metabase facility to describe the methods used in the laboratory analysis; and vi) interface facility to automatize the linkage of soil data to computerised information systems.
