Pseudo-functor
From HandWiki
Short description: Category mapping
In mathematics, a pseudofunctor F is a mapping between 2-categories, or from a category to a 2-category, that is just like a functor except that [math]\displaystyle{ F(f \circ g) = F(f) \circ F(g) }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ F(1) = 1 }[/math] do not hold as exact equalities but only up to coherent isomorphisms.
The Grothendieck construction associates to a pseudofunctor a fibered category.
