			A place from which data can be accessed.
		</p>
		<p>
			The data “in” a Space typically represents <ref target="sioc:Item">Items</ref> and is organized into <ref target="sioc:Collection">Collections</ref>.
			This ontology defines data as being “in” a Space in terms of it being logically accessible <em>from</em> a Space, which is itself a somewhat loose phrasing.
			The intention is to encompass such things as websites and filesystems, with·out making any claims about the underlying technologies or storage mediums.
		</p>
		<p>
			Because it is conceptual in nature, rather than being beholden to a particular encoding structure, this class is <em>not</em> a subclass of <ptr target="dcmitype:Dataset"/>.
		</p>
		<p>
			Spaces often also have a social component, i·e <ref target="sioc:Community">Communities</ref>.
