Uncertainty in the spatial metadata of historical photographs: A geomatic and photogrammetric driven argumentation

  • Abstract

    Current metadata concepts insufficiently represent geospatial information. This is an obstacle for retrieval techniques as well as for geospatial disciplines. Main point is, that established standards cannot handle uncertainty of geospatial information or are the source for uncertainty. We recommend a new concept to store and handle geo-information as metadata for historical photographs. The approach presented in this paper suggests how to source the necessary information and deal with uncertainty using Volunteered Geographic Information concepts.
