Summary

Introduction to typology of uncertainty and its application in geoinformatics. Eplanation of basic concept such as imprecision, vagueness, ambiguity. Explanation of error types, reliability and its measurement, error evaluation for quantitative and qualitative data, error propagation. Description and explanation of data quality which are used in metadata. Dealing with sources of uncertainty and methods of description. Explanation of fuzziness (fuzzy set, operation, fuzzy region, topological and other spatial operation. Dealing with qualitative measurements of uncertainty, multivalue logic, endorsement theory, Bayes theory and Dempster-Shafer theory. Introduction to uncertainty visualization.
