Abstract: Let iota:(K,u)hookrightarrow(K(x),mu) be a simple purely transcendental extension of valued fields. In order to study such an extension, M. Vaqui'e, generalizing an earlier construction of S. Mac Lane, introduced the notion of Key polynomials. In this paper we define a related notion of extbf{abstract key polynomials} associated to iota and study the relationship between them and key polynomials of Mac Lane -- Vaqui'e. Associated to each abstract key polynomial Q, we define the truncation muQ of mu with respect to Q and we study the properties of those truncations. Roughly speaking, muQ is an approximation to mu defined by the key polynomial Q. We also define the notion of an abstract key polynomial Q being an extbf{immediate successor} of another abstract key polynomial Q (in this situation we write Q<Q). The main comparison results proved in this paper are as follows:(1): An abstract key polynomial for mu is a Mac Lane -- Vaqui'e key polynomial for the truncated valuation muQ.(2): If Q<Q are two abstract key polynomials for mu then Q is a Mac Lane -- Vaqui'e key polynomial for muQ. (3) which, for a monic polynomial QinK[x] and a valuation mu of K(x), gives a sufficient condition for Q to be an abstract key polynomial for mu. Combined with an earlier result of M. Vaqui'e, this describes a class of pairs of valuations (mu,mu) such that Q is a Mac Lane -- Vaqui'e key polynomial for mu and an abstract key polynomial for mu.
