Soil classification is not quite in place for discussion

Abstract

As the theory and mathematical methods have been so far introduced insufficiently into elaborating the soil classification nowadays, an attempt is made to demonstrate some available approaches. An aphoristic title of this paper is used not to dethrone an “aristocratic” pattern of this significant problem that has being constantly discussed in soil science but to show how the up-to-date means of informatics allow solving numerous tasks related to the elaboration, investigation and utilization of classification structures based upon a description of soil objects. The research in preparing any classification should be carried out in the way described in this paper in order to consider it as complicated and open for discussion, investigation and further development.
