Abstract
It is well known that a measured groupoid G defines a von Neumann algebra W # (G), and that a Lie groupoid G canonically defines both a C # -algebra C # (G) and a Poisson manifold A # (G). We construct suitable categories of measured groupoids, Lie groupoids, von Neumann algebras, C # -algebras, and Poisson manifolds, with the feature that in each case Morita equivalence comes down to isomorphism of objects. Subsequently, we show that the maps G C # (G), and G are functorial between the categories in question. It follows that these maps preserve Morita equivalence.
