摘 要:New generation remote sensing technologies today open new application areas and demonstrate their effectiveness providing geo-information in support of disaster *** the same time,new challenges can be identified and among them the validation of geo-information under the new specific constraints dictated by the disaster management application area has a crucial *** the frame of the Digital Earth concept,geo-information is a sharable resource,and a resource is truly shareable not only if we know the formal code used to make itand then we can read itbut alsoand in particular during disasterif we know the reliability of this *** is crucial in order to avoid information overflow and time wasting during the decision-making process in support of disaster ***‘International workshop on validation of geo-information products for crisis management,’VALgEO 2009,was held at the Joint Research Centre,in Ispra,Italy on 2123 November *** purpose of this first workshop was to initiate a dialog between the main actors of Emergency Response Services around validation and to raise awareness of the necessity for an independent formal assessment of geoinformation for disaster *** special issue includes a collection of invited papers presented at the *** gathers interdisciplinary initiatives where the majority of the contributions either directly or implicitly address different aspects of validation of geo-information generated following a disaster,ranging from flood information to forest fires and earthquake damage assessments.
