• Assuring the quality of volunteered geographic information (2012, background): “As with any discussion of quality or uncertainty in geographic information, it is appropriate to embed the discussion within the general framework of spatial statistics (Zhang and Goodchild, 2002).”
• Causes and consequences of error in digital elevation models (2006, methodology): “…that have attempted to describe the pattern of DEM errors spatially by means of both geostatistical variograms (Fisher, 1998; Kyriakidis et al., 1999; Liu and Jezek, 1999; Holmes et al., 2000; Weng, 2002; Zhang and Goodchild, 2002; see section V) and Fourier-based analysis (Liu and Jezek, 1999).”
• Researching Volunteered Geographic Information: Spatial Data, Geographic Research, and New Social Practice (2012, background): “Geographic information is subject to measurement error, loss of detail, vagueness of definitions, and many other sources of uncertainty and inaccuracy (Zhang and Goodchild 2002).”
• Visualizing Geospatial Information Uncertainty: What We Know and What We Need to Know (2005, background): “…literature in GIScience and related fields focused on this problem, including focused research on computing and propagating uncertainty (Veregin 1995; Worboys 1998) as well as comprehensive texts and edited collections (Foody and Atkinson 2002; Goodchild and Gopal 1989; Zhang and Goodchild 2002).”
• Bioclimatological mapping tackling uncertainty propagation: application to mainland Portugal (2016, background): “Uncertainty propagation and significance tests Error and uncertainty propagation, especially when related to GIS operations and data processing, is a well-known and relatively studied problem (Heuvelink, 1998; Heuvelink and Burrough, 2002; Zhang and Goodchild, 2002).”
• A MEASUREMENT THEORY FOR TIME GEOGRAPHY (2005, background): “Also, line segments allow relatively simple error structures (see Zhang and Goodchild 2002 ).”
