In times of uncertainties scenarios offer a solution. Starting with Royal Dutch Shell by the late 1960s, corporate scenarios are intended to challenge managers’ “personal microcosms” and to reflect the present and the past, before structuring the uncertainties of the future. Therefore,...

We present a method for representing, recording and managing conceptualization uncertainty. We review components of uncertainty associated with semantics and metadata. We present a way of recording and visualizing uncertainty using sketching and suggest a framework for recording and managing...

Techniques and issues for the characterisation of an object-field representation that includes notions of semantics and uncertainty are detailed. The purpose of this model is to allow users to capture objects in field with internally variable levels of uncertainty, to visualize users'...

The need for a conceptually unifying data model for the representation of geospatial phenomena has already been acknowledged. There has been some activity in developing unifying data models for geospatial representation in digital form and some successes have been reported. Nevertheless,...

Although much uncertainty exists in simulating future climate profiles with earth system models (ESMs), it has not been evaluated in relation to socioeconomic aspects. In this study, we analyze the socioeconomic impact of three emission pathways, all of which possibly achieve 4.5 W/m2 of...
