Abstract: An orthogonality space is a set equipped with a symmetric and irreflexive binary relation. We consider orthogonality spaces with the additional property that any collection of mutually orthogonal elements gives rise to the structure of a Boolean algebra. Together with the maps that preserve the Boolean structures, we are led to the category $mathcalNmathcalOmathcalS$ of normal orthogonality spaces. Moreover, an orthogonality space of finite rank is called linear if for any two distinct elements $e$ and $f$ there is a third one $g$ such that exactly one of $f$ and $g$ is orthogonal to $e$ and the pairs $e,f$ and $e,g$ have the same orthogonal complement. Linear orthogonality spaces arise from finite-dimensional Hermitian spaces. We are led to the full subcategory $mathcalLmathcalOmathcalS$ of $mathcalNmathcalOmathcalS$ and we show that the morphisms are the orthogonality-preserving lineations. Finally, we consider the full subcategory $mathcalEmathcalOmathcalS$ of $mathcalLmathcalOmathcalS$ whose members arise from positive definite Hermitian spaces over Baer ordered $star$-fields with a Euclidean fixed field. We establish that the morphisms of $mathcalEmathcalOmathcalS$ are induced by generalised semiunitary mappings.
