Simple examples in this context are provided by finite sets and lattices. As an application, it is explained how the nonlinear Toda lattice and a discrete time version of it can be understood as generalized sigma-models based on noncommutative geometries. In particular, in this way one achieves a simple understanding of the complete integrability of the Toda lattice. Furthermore, generalized metric structures on finite sets and lattices are briefly discussed.16 pages, LaTeX, uses amssymbMathematical PhysicsGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyHigh Energy Physics - TheoryQuantum AlgebraExactly Solvable and Integrable Systemstext
