In this sub-area you can explore the various dimensions, types and locations of uncertainty. A typology of uncertainties is presented in the form of an uncertainty matrix. Different understanding of the concept of uncertainty are introduced. Further, the concepts of value ladenness and the certainty trough are elaborated and discussed.
