A sheave.
An abstract construct in topology that associates data to the sets of a space (i.e. a presheaf) in such a way so as to make the local and global data compatible, generalizing the situation of functions, bundles, manifold structure, etc. on a topological space. Formally, a presheaf \mathcal{F} whose sections are, in a technical sense, uniquely determined by their restrictions onto smaller sets: that is, given an open cover \{U_i \} of U:
If two sections over U agree under restriction to every U_i, then the sections are the same.
Given a family of sections s_i \in \mathcal{F}(U_i) such that all pairs (s_i, s_j) agree under restriction to U_i \cap U_j, there is a (unique) section s over U whose restriction to U_i is s_i.
To gather and bind into a sheaf; to make into sheaves
To collect and bind cut grain, or the like; to make sheaves.
