The UncertWeb FP7 EU project has developed methods and open source tools for uncertainty propagation in web-enabled environmental modeling chains. One of these tools visualizes probabilistic spatial and spatio-temporal data in a browser. To assess the usability of this visualisation tool, the Institute for Geoinformatics prepared an online survey.
Please take the time and spend 20 minutes to get to know the tool and give your opinion about it! We will need this before Jan 15, 2013 23:59 UTC.

The questionnaire is available here.

For those of you who are curious, yes, this is the tool that will continue under the name GREENLAND!

The Geostatistics community is proud to present its newest software project: Greenland. Greenland is a client-side tool to render quality-aware geospatial data. It is implemented as a JavaScript web application using OpenLayers and ExtJS, leveraging HTML5 features, such as the canvas element. It is based on work originally started within the UncertWeb project – “the visualization client” – and is now also developed further within the GeoViQua project. Therefore we decided to join efforts, move the code up in the repository to the main level, and give the software a new name (and without acronyms this time!).
