abstract: 'Taxonomic dictionaries, formative element lists, and functions related
  to the maintenance, development and application of U.S. Soil Taxonomy. Data and
  functionality are based on official U.S. Department of Agriculture sources including
  the latest edition of the Keys to Soil Taxonomy. Descriptions and metadata are obtained
  from the National Soil Information System or Soil Survey Geographic databases. Other
  sources are referenced in the data documentation. Provides tools for understanding
  and interacting with concepts in the U.S. Soil Taxonomic System. Most of the current
  utilities are for working with taxonomic concepts at the "higher" taxonomic levels:
  Order, Suborder, Great Group, and Subgroup.'
