Abstract
We study the usual notion of Scott rank but in the setting of Polish metric spaces. The signature consists of distance relations: for each rational , there is a relation stating that the distance of and is less than . We show that compact spaces have Scott rank at most , and that there are discrete ultrametric spaces of arbitrarily high countable Scott rank.
