A median of a k-tuple π=(x 1,...,x k) of elements of a finite metric space (X,d) is an element x for which ∑ i=1 kd(x,x i) is minimum. The function m with domain the set of all k-tuples with k0 and defined by m(π)={x: x is a median of π} is called the median function on X. Continuing with the program of characterizing m on various metric spaces, this paper presents a characterization of the median function on distributive semilattices endowed with the standard lattice metric.
