Abstract: We analyze the structure of a semiorder, paying attention to its representability through a real-valued function and a positive constant threshold (the so-called Scott-Suppes representation). We furnish a new set of sufficient conditions for the Scott-Suppes representability of semiorders. Unlike previous characterizations already introduced in the literature, these new conditions can be expressed directly in terms of the given semiordered structure.
