    The author studies the semilattice generated by the intersection closure of a given hypergraph. He shows that both cycles and cycle classes of a hypergraph can be characterized by the structure of the associated semilattice, and that both the number of cycles and the number of cycle classes satisfy the Euler formula. He also shows that these cyclomatic numbes are related to the Möbius function of posets.
