Definition 65.16.2. Let $\mathit{Sch}_{fppf}$ be a big fppf site. Let $S \to S'$ be a morphism of this site.
If $F'$ is an algebraic space over $S'$, then the base change of $F'$ to $S$ is the algebraic space $j^{-1}F'$ described in Lemma 65.16.1. We denote it $F'_ S$.
If $F$ is an algebraic space over $S$, then $F$ viewed as an algebraic space over $S'$ is the algebraic space $j_!F$ over $S'$ described in Lemma 65.16.1. We often simply denote this $F$; if not then we will write $j_!F$.
