Abstract: This paper presents a theory of uniform-type structures in the non-commutative sense. The theory comprises the theory of covering-uniformities for quantales as a generalization of the classical theory of covering-uniformities for frames. Also, by introducing quantale-valued covers of a set, we present a general framework for uniform structures on very general L-valued spaces (for L a quantale). The categories of (covering) uniform quantales and L-valued uniform spaces here introduced and the adjunction between them is studied.

Keywords: Covering uniformities, uniform frames, L-quasi-topologies, quantales
