Ontology of scale: The literature on scale of geodata has not yet reached clarity on the various notions commonly subsumed under this topic (resolution or granularity, support, etc.). In the context of our work on sensor observations, PhD research shall address this conceptual confusion and produce a formal specification of notions of spatial, temporal, and thematic scale. The results shall be implemented and tested with actual sensor data. coming from our geochange research program (see www.geochange.info). Kick-off funding for up to one year (in which to acquire project funding) is available.
