Idea

\infinity-Stackification is another term for (∞,1)-sheafification. It is the direct (∞,1)-categorical analog of the following 1-categorical situation.

Recall that for SS a site, sheafification is the functor

()¯:PSh(S)Sh(S)PSh(S) \bar{(-)} : PSh(S) \to Sh(S) \hookrightarrow PSh(S)

which sends every presheaf FF on SS to another presheaf F¯\bar F which is weakly equivalent to FF with respect to the homotopical category structure on PSh(S)PSh(S) induced from the Grothendieck topology on XX. The presheaf F¯\bar F respects weak equivalences and satisfies descent in that the hom-functor Hom PSh(S)(,F¯)Hom_{PSh(S)}(-,\bar F) sends weak equivalences (the local isomorphisms) to weak equivalences.

Essentially by definition (according to Higher Topos Theory) the situation for \infty-stacks is entirely analogous, as described at (∞,1)-category of (∞,1)-sheaves.

(Noticing that “\infty-stack” is synonymous to “(∞,1)-sheaf”, “\infty-stackification” to “(,1)(\infty,1)-sheafification”, and so on.
