| Abstract | A statistical evaluation of the uncertainty of the length of a utility network is frequently omitted in current geographic information system (GIS) applications, although this information is important for management purposes. Nevertheless, the spatial database storing geographic information about the network might have been set up through a complex process (ground surveying, digitising of analogue maps, integration of different data sources), resulting in a dataset with unclassified uncertainty. This paper proposes a practical but ‘rigorous’ approach to evaluate the influence of the uncertainty in the determination of the length of a network. Starting from the definition of length uncertainty in terms of simple geometric elements (arc, pair of arcs, open and closed path), some rules for its evaluation in the case of complex networks have been developed. The statistical concept applied for the evaluation of uncertainty is quite standard because it is based on the covariance propagation theory. On the other hand, the influence of correlations between the lengths of adjacent elements has been considered as well. The application of this method only requires the topological structure of the network that can be built in a GIS environment. Furthermore, an alternative ‘approximate’ method is proposed to find an approximation of the uncertainty of the network length with a simple formula, which requires neither any particular processing step nor the network topology. Both methods have been tested and validated on simulated and real datasets. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
