In this paper we explore the extent to which embedding and isomorphism questions about a Noether lattice can be reduced to questions about simpler structures associated with .

In § 1, we use a variation of Dilworth's congruence approach [2] to associate a collection of semi-local Noether lattices with a given Noether lattice . We show that these semi-localizations determine to within isomorphism (Corollary 1.5); thus embedding and isomorphism questions about are largely reduced to the semi-local case.

In § 2, we consider the influence on a semi-local Noether lattice of the substructure ∂ consisting of all elements, all of whose associated primes are maximal. Here we find that if ∂ can be embedded in a semi-local Noether lattice *, then can be embedded in an extension of *.
