  We introduce basic notions and results about relation liftings on categories
enriched in a commutative quantale. We derive two necessary and sufficient
conditions for a 2-functor T to admit a functorial relation lifting: one is the
existence of a distributive law of T over the "powerset monad" on categories,
one is the preservation by T of "exactness" of certain squares. Both
characterisations are generalisations of the "classical" results known for set
functors: the first characterisation generalises the existence of a
distributive law over the genuine powerset monad, the second generalises
preservation of weak pullbacks. The results presented in this paper enable us
to compute predicate liftings of endofunctors of, for example, generalised
(ultra)metric spaces. We illustrate this by studying the coalgebraic cover
modality in this setting.
