✦ Synopsis

This article treats the problem of vagueness in databases from a general point of view. Several kinds of attribute imprecise values are considered, including the case where such values are fuzzy set of objects. The possibility of managing uncertain data is also taken into account and both sources of the lack of information are studied jointly. All these vague elements are represented in a unified manner by using a semantic data model. The article shows how this representation is possible and opens the way for implementing this kind of information by using a classic object-oriented database system.

## Abstract As the treatments of cancer progress, a certain number of cancers are curable if diagnosed early. In population‐based cancer survival studies, cure is said to occur when mortality rate of the cancer patients returns to the same level as that expected for the general cancer‐free populati
