The first official version of the World Reference Base for Soil Resources was released at the 16th World Congress of Soil Science at Montpellier in 1998. At the same event it was also endorsed and adopted as the system for soil correlation and international communication of the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS).

This paper will present the major changes in principles and structure in the system.
