UncertWeb is an EC funded research project running from Feb 2010 – Jan 2013 developing the uncertainty enabled model web. The model Web concept, formulated within the Global Earth Observation System of Systems activity envisages the integration of complex resources, such as data and models, to construct complex models, composed of chains of model and data components exposed as web services. This offers exciting opportunities for model development in a more loosely coupled, component oriented manner, encouraging sharing, re-use and easy access.
However, when combining services of limited, or unknown, quality it is necessary to account for uncertainty if the outputs of the model web are to be used for rational decision making. UncertWeb develops mechanisms, standards, tools and case studies to enable uncertainty management in an interoperable model web context.
The UncertML website has been updated with details about the upcoming changes to the specification. The new version is still in the early stages of development, however, an overview document has been published on the UncertML website.
A web site has been created to illustrate the chaining of OGC web services with uncertainty propagation. The chain, which undertakes the relatively simple task of correcting station level pressure to sea level pressure uses several services (exposed as web proce...
UncertWeb will run several activities at Accuracy 2010 20-23 July 2010, including a workshop on using UncertML and presentation of a prototype service chain, undertaking pressure correction to sea level while accounting for uncertai...
The UncertWeb project has received funding from the European Community's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement n° [248488].
