Wood Abstract A complete lattice L is constructively completely distributive, ccd, when the sup arrow from down-closed subobjects of L to L has a left adjoint. The Karoubian envelope of the (bi-)category of relations is equivalent to the (bi-)category of ccd lattices and sup-preserving arrows. The equivalence restricts to an equivalence between ideals and ``totally algebraic'' lattices. Both equivalences have left exact versions. As applications we characterize projective sup lattices and recover a known characterization of projective frames. Also, the known characterization of nuclear sup lattices in set as completely distributive lattices is extended to an equivalence with ccd lattices in a topos. ==============================================================================
