Order-embedding - Dictionary Definition and Overview

Order-embedding : 

A function f : D -> C is order-embedding iff for all x, y in D,

f(x) <= f(y) <=> x <= y.

I.e. arguments and results compare similarly. A function which is order-embedding is monotonic and one-to-one and an injection.

("<=" is written in LaTeX as \sqsubseteq).
