Abstract
This work continues previous ones in the study of a relative orders of magnitude model, based in the formalization of certain qualitative knowledge between real quantities and qualitative labels. The mathematical model for negligibility in qualitative reasoning presented is to be used in the not unusual situation in which one disposes of some real quantitative data and only disposes of the qualitative descriptions of other ones. Negligibility relations between real numbers, between numbers and labels and between labels are defined and studied with detail.
