            Abstract : 
We present here a formal syntax and semantics for a notion of a descriptive granularity. We do so in terms of three abstract models: Descriptive, Semantic, and Granular. The descriptive model formalizes the syntactical concepts and properties of the data mining, or learning process. Semantic model formalizes its semantical properties. The Granular model establishes a relationship between the Descriptive and Semantic models in terms of a formal satisfaction relation.
