We give a characterization of the left Banach $A$-modules $X$ for which there exists a commutative unital $C^*$-algebra $C(K)$, a linear isometry $i\colon X\to C(K)$, and a contractive unital homomorphism $θ\colon A\to C(K)$ such that $i(a\cdotp x) =θ(a)i(x)$ for any $a\in A, x\in X$. We then deduce a "commutative" version of the Christensen-Effros-Sinclair characterization of operator bimodules. In the last section of the paper, we prove a $w^*$-version of the latter characterization, which generalizes some previous work of Effros and Ruan.Operator AlgebrasClassical Analysis and ODEsFunctional Analysis46H25, 46J10, 47D25, 46B28text
