Definition
Uncertain data appears naturally in many real-world applications for a variety of reasons, ranging from inherent limitations of the measurement or monitoring infrastructures to widespread use of statistical analysis and probabilistic inference. Further, the uncertainties associated with different entities or facts in the data are often correlated with each other. For instance, two facts may be known to be mutually exclusive, i.e., even if we are uncertain about which of the two are true, we may know that both the facts cannot be simultaneously true. Oftentimes the correlations are more complex; for example, given two uncertain facts, we may know that if one of them is true, then the probability for the other being true is higher and vice versa. To manage such correlated data in a principled manner, the uncertain data model must be expressive enough to allow capturing such...
