Definition 73.3.1. Let S be a scheme, and let X be an algebraic space over S. A Zariski covering of X is a family of morphisms \{ f_ i : X_ i \to X\} _{i \in I} of algebraic spaces over S such that each f_ i is an open immersion and such that
|X| = \bigcup \nolimits _{i \in I} |f_ i|(|X_ i|),
i.e., the morphisms are jointly surjective.
