Abstract
Prosopographical databases, which allow the study of social groups through their bibliography, are used today by a significant number of historians. Computerization has allowed intensive and large scale exploitation of these databases. The modeling of these proposopographic databases has given rise to several data models. An important problem is to ensure a level of quality of the stored information. In this article, we propose a generic data model allowing to describe most of the existing prosopographical databases and to enrich them by integrating several quality concepts such as certainty, credibility, consistency, and completeness. The first two criteria (certainty, credibility) are stored in the database whereas the last two criteria are derived.
