Best practice guidance on handling uncertainty information

This document is MINKE’s Deliverable 3.4 “Best practice guidance on handling uncertainty information”. Its main purpose is to define a best practice approach to handle uncertainty in metadata documents that are understandable to both humans and machines. A list of metadata terms relevant from the metrological point of view are listed, and a tentative encoding using OGC Connected Systems / SensorML is proposed. Additionally, a software tool named SensorML Uncertainty Analysis is presented, which exemplifies how metrological information could be used in oceanographic data analysis.
