UncertWeb logo: uncertainty enabled model web

UncertWeb

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.

UncertWeb combines with several other EU projects

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.
