Motivated by the recent introduction of the intrinsic semilattice entropy, we study generalized quasi-metric semilattices and their categories. We investigate the relationship between these objects and generalized semivaluations, extending Nakamura and Schellekens' approach. Finally, we use this correspondence to compare the intrinsic semilattice entropy and the semigroup entropy induced in particular situations, like sets, torsion abelian groups and vector spaces.
