Abstract

The quality of a piece of information depends, among others, on the certainty that can be attached to it, which relates to the degree of confidence that can be put in it. This paper discusses various components to be considered when assessing this certainty level. It shows that they cover a wide range of different types of uncertainty and provide a highly relevant application domain for theoretical questioning about uncertainty modelling. It also describes several frameworks that have been considered for this task.

This paper is based on part of the panel which has been organised by Prof. Kovalerchuk at IPMU2012 on the general topic “Uncertainty Modelling”.

Conversely, a source is said to be complete if, when a piece of information is true, the source provides it [4]. This useful characterisation, related both to the source omniscience and “sharing communication type”, is however less central for the assessment of the information uncertainty.
