Abstract
The heterogeneity of uncertainty in the real-world has driven the development of a wide variety of formal approaches to representing and reasoning with uncertainty in knowledge. There is now a shift to analysing the application of many of these formalisms. Here, we briefly consider some of the issues in the application of uncertainty formalisms.
