nLab higher Poisson structure

There are various proposals for and definitions of higher order generalization of the concept of Poisson brackets.

Dedicated $n$lab entries exist so far for the following cases:

• Poisson n-algebra (rationalied En-algebra stucture)

• Poisson bracket Lie n-algebra (L-infinity algebra structure)

Definitons analogous to Nambu brackets are discussed in
