We describe a conceptual approach which provides a unified view of various entropy-like functionals on the class of semimetric spaces, endowed with a bounded measure. The entropy $E$ considered in the author's previous articles is modified so as to assume finite values for a fairly wide class of spaces which fail to be totally bounded.
