Comparison of classifiers is based first on the comparability of the classifier, followed by comparison of the selected options of the specific classifier. Thus, Life Form of vegetation can be compared with Life Form of cultivated areas. If the option selected for the dominant Life Form of vegetation is Trees and a Tree Crop has been specified for the cultivated areas, the comparison will generate 100 percent similarity. If a Shrub Crop has been specified, the comparison will result in 0 percent similarity. However, not all comparisons of classifiers will generate 100 percent similarity or 0 percent similarity. There are also a number of cases where the value is set to 50 percent. These cases are discussed below:
The tables on the following pages show the similarity values of the classifiers and modifiers.
