SoLIM Suite
The SoLIM Suite software contains a set of tools for predictive digital soil mapping under the SoLIM framework and is available for non-commercial use. Much of the work was funded by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It runs as a Microsoft Windows executable.

3dMapperTM
3dMapperTM is a landscape visualization and three-dimensional mapping application developed by James Burt and A-Xing Zhu at the UW-Madison Department of Geography. It allows researchers to quickly overlay topography with GIS data layers and draw lines, polygons and point data at arbitrary locations in the 3-D view. The program was written as part of the SoLIM project. Follow this link to obtain the software and associated materials (help manuals and tutorial datasets).
KnowledgeMiner (Data Mining Tools)
KnowledgeMiner is a spatial data mining tool set for discovering knowledge on soil-landscape relationships embedded in conventional soil maps. This tool set was developed as part of the SoLIM project. Currently the data mining tool set contains two programs: the KnowledgeMiner and the KnowledgeComparator.
