Discrete partially ordered sets can be turned into distance spaces in several ways. The distance functions may or may not satisfy the triangle inequality, and restriction of the distance to finite chains may or may not coincide with the natural, difference-of-height distance measured in a chain. For semilattices, a semimodularity condition ensures the good behavior of the distances considered. This condition is trivially satisfied by trees, and in lattices it coincides with the usual semimodularity property. For a large class of distance functions the triangle inequality is equivalent to semimodularity.
