Abstract :
Wildfire is a constant risk due to its danger on both human and natural resources so modeling and simulation is an important tool to understand and forecast this phenomenon. A basic element of any simulation model is to define a way to store, compare and exchange observation and model results. Without a clear and standardized data structure, results and observations lack usability, inter-comparability and expressiveness.
