Workshop : Classification Systems for Landscape Monitoring
- Agroforum Centre Tune (DK), 11-12 October 2001 |
| organised by Geoff Groom (NERI), Arnt-Kristian Gjertsen (NIJOS), Göran Ståhl (SLU) |

This workshop was an activity under NordLaM Theme-1 ... for examination of the ways in which the issue of
the classification system and legend interacts with landscape level environmental and ecological monitoring,
including its use of thematic information derived from image data.
A major issue faced by Landscape Monitoring programmes is the set of classes that they should use. In many cases, existing legends for land cover,
vegetation or habitat mapping, for example, do not fully meet the requirements for landscape monitoring. At the same time, these programmes wish to
use class-sets whereby their monitoring data are easily compatible with those from other programmes. This issue is particularly pertinent with
respect to the use of information from image data, since very often images are used to provide thematic mapping.
This workshop's aims were to (a) increase awareness and understanding of the issues regarding the development and use of classification systems,
nomenclatures and legends in Landscape Monitoring and related activities and (b) explore the possibilities for the development of a classification
system tuned to the requirements of Landscape Monitoring.
