[uncertainty] In GIS, a state of uncertainty in data classification that exists when an object may appropriately be assigned two or more values for a given attribute.
Carrier phase positioning for safety of life critical applications requires an extremely reliable integer ambiguity resolution.

with carrier-phase observations, the number of carrier-phase cycles between the receiver and the satellite is generally unknown and is referred to as the ambiguity and is an integer number.

To avoid ambiguity, DEM will be used exclusively for a grid framework, so it can be read matrix. derived measurement p.
At heart, these debates arise out of the ambiguity of GIS as a tool and GIS as science.
The operations can be performed in any order, and the parentheses may be omitted without ambiguity (i.e. either of the above can be expressed equivalently as A ∪ B ∪ C). Similarly, union is commutative, so the sets can be written in any order.
Also, the robustness of OGC specifications sometimes leads to ambiguity in implementation, even among OGC-compliant products.
This way, there is no ambiguity and minimal changes are needed. But the MP 4 is no more the end of segment 3 - 4 but the end of segment 3+2000 - 3+3000. This information must be entered to the system and it is done by optional MP attributes: ...

Consistently using a tested and approved set of conversion guidelines and procedures will eliminate any chance of ambiguity in methods. Using established procedures will allow for the most consistent product possible.

a theme - for example, 'Stamford Ware' within the pottery theme or 'Hillforts' in the Iron Age site theme. In order to avoid confusion, it is important that the names given to such themes and layers are both descriptive and free from ambiguity.
