Abstract
 Development of a Custom GIS Application for Publishing Soil Surveys Track: Agriculture Author(s): Allan Johnson, Mike Wigginton Currently, digital soils information can be obtained from many sources. Many websites serve digital soils information, but often, users need their own GIS software and considerable knowledge to view the data. A planned IMS web Soil Survey will eliminate the need for GIS software but will rely on a fairly fast internet connection. The Indiana NRCS office has published nearly 150 project areas on CDs utilizing a customized run-time version of ArcView accessible to novice computer users and most available computers. Using a customized ArcView application on CD, the user can access information easily through many unique tools without needing Web access. Future plans for this product include migrating to an ArcGIS 9 format.
