                         choice metrics or an ad hoc choice of the validation metrics 
                         available. To address this, we have identified the major 
                         dimensions of land-cover maps that ought to be evaluated and 
                         devised a Similarity Validation (SimiVal) tool. SimiVal uses a 
                         linear regression to test a modelled projection against benchmark 
                         cases of, perfect, observed and systematic-bias, calculated by 
                         rescaling the metrics from a random case relative to the observed, 
                         perfect case. The most informative regression coefficients, 
                         p-value and slope, are plot on a ternary graph of 'similarity 
                         space' whose extremes are the three benchmark cases. SimiVal is 
                         tested on projections of two deliberately contrasting land-cover 
                         models to show the similarity between intra- and inter-model 
                         parameterisations. We find metrics of landscape structure are 
                         important in distinguishing between different projections of the 
                         same model. Predictive and exploratory models can benefit from the 
                         tool.",
