Abstract: The concept of a semiprime ideal in a poset is introduced. Characterizations of semiprime ideals in a poset $P$ as well as characterizations of a semiprime ideal to be prime in $P$ are obtained in terms of meet-irreducible elements of the lattice of ideals of $P$ and in terms of maximality of ideals. Also, prime ideals in a poset are characterized.

Keywords: semiprime ideal, prime ideal, meet-irreducible element, $I$-atom

Classification (MSC 2000): 06B10
