EFFIS 2010 Fires Season
Time of fire Is the date valid?Does it occur in the same year as the filename?Do date/time of intervention/extinction occur after initial date/time of alert?Is the duration of the fire reasonable given its size?
Location of fire Do the place names exist/are they correctly spelt?Are the commune name/code/NUTS consistent?Is the correct code used?Where information are incomplete, is it possible to obtain it from cross-referring other data?If North/East values are given, are they plausible?
Size of fire Are the values plausible (eg. correct units)?Have the categories been assigned correctly?
Cause of fire Is the mapping between country code and EU code consistent/correct?

Input formats: not yet consistent between countries or years, Problems with different language fonts, etc
Definition of “Forest”, “Other wooded land”, “Other non-wooded land”, “Agriculture”: not consistent between countries or over time
NUTS codes –dealing with changes over timeActual location info (long/lat) is relatively sparse and not consistently reported (projection/units, etc)
Challenges
Some countries do not report all fires: how to reconcile the raw data with annual totals that are supplied separately
