In the past thirty years, algebraic topologists have developed a great body of knowledge concerning the category of topological spaces. By contrast, corresponding problems in the category of uniform spaces have been barely touched. Lubkin [8] studied the notion of a covering space in the category of generalized uniform spaces, and suggested that much of algebraic topology could be profitably studied in this category. Deming [2] discussed the fundamental group of a generalized uniform space, and related it to the first Čech homology group. A slightly different version of Cech cohomology was defined by Kuzminov and Svedov in [7] and related to the dimension theory of uniform spaces.
