Data spaces are like folders for your project’s data. They tell you where the information in your project comes from. If you made a survey in Converlens, that’s a data space. If you did a series of surveys, each of them is a data space. Even if you brought in data from somewhere else, that imported data gets its own data space. It’s a way to organise and recognise the source of your information easily. So, when you see “data space”, think of it as the origin label for your project’s data.
