In the classical probability, as well as in the fuzzy probability theory, random events and probability measures are modelled by functions into the closed unit interval [0,1]. Using elementary methods of category theory, we present a classification of the extensions of generalized probability measures (probability measures and integrals with respect to probability measures) from a suitable class of generalized random events to a larger class having some additional (algebraic and/or topological) properties. The classification puts into a perspective the classical and some recent constructions related to the extension of sequentially continuous functions.
