An operational category is a category of models for an equational theory where the interpretation of some operations is predetermined. Examples include the equational and co-equational categories of Linton, categories of functors preserving some class of limits, and algebras for a prop as defined by MacLane. The chief result is a characterisation of the operational categories and functors in terms of their internal structure.
