A commutative C*-algebra is known to be completely determined by its lattice of closed ideals. Akemann [1, 2] and Giles and Kummer [7] found a structure on the lattice of closed right ideals of an arbitrary unital C*-algebra A which makes it possible to determine A analogously as in the commutative case. Mulvey [10] has suggested a more algebraic approach using the multiplication of closed right ideals. We are further developing his suggestion. In Section 1, we quickly recall from [3] some basic definitions and facts about quantales and introduce some new ones. In Section 2 we discuss these notions for C*-algebras. Our main result is that any postliminary C*-algebra is determined by its multiplicative lattice of closed right ideals.
