Abstract: Let G be an ell-group (which is short for ``lattice-ordered abelian group). Baker and Beynon proved that G is finitely presented iff it is finitely generated and projective. In the category mathcalU of {it unital} ell-groups---those ell-groups having a distinguished order-unit u---only the (Leftarrow)-direction holds in general. Morphisms in mathcalU are {it unital ell-homomorphisms,} i.e., hom-o-mor-phisms that preserve the order-unit and the lattice structure. We show that a unital ell-group (G,u) is finitely presented iff it has a basis, i.e., G is generated by an abstract Schauder basis over its maximal spectral space. Thus every finitely generated projective unital ell-group has a basis mathcalB. As a partial converse, a large class of projectives is constructed from bases satisfying . Without using the Effros-Handelman-Shen theorem, we finally show that the bases of any finitely presented unital ell-group (G,u) provide a direct system of simplicial groups with 1-1 positive unital homomorphisms, whose limit is (G,u).
