At a first level approximation, a volcano is a peak. Even on the caldera rim there's still a high point, and that's the peak. If you want to map the caldera create a key for that. If you want to map the volcano extent, good luck. Where's the base of a mountain? What defines the edge of a volcano differently from the edge of a mountain?
+1 on that. The question of how to map Hawaiian Islands is a perfect example of the difficulty inherent in this approach. I also agree that there should be some way to identify or characterize prominence. I don't have any answers but agree it's something to work toward.
