A fibered category 
 over a topological space 
 consists of 
1. a category 
 for each open subset 
, 
2. a functor 
 for each inclusion 
, and 
3. a natural isomorphism
for each pair of inclusions 
, 
. 
In addition, for any three composable inclusions 
, 
, and 
, there exists a natural commuting
 as shown above.
Sometimes, the pair 
 is used to denote a fibered category with more precision while the shorthand 
 is sometimes used for 
, 
, 
.
