We construct a simplicial locally convex algebra, whose weak dual is the standard cosimplicial topological space. The construction is carried out in a purely categorical way, so that it can be used to construct (co)simplicial objects in a variety of categories --- in particular, the standard cosimplicial topological space can be produced.
