An algebraic space is an object in the sheaf topos over the fppf-site, that has representable diagonal and an étale cover (atlas) by a scheme.
In algebraic geometry one can glue affine schemes in various topologies; this way one obtains various kinds of locally affine ringed spaces. For example, schemes locally affine in Zariski topology. Étale topology is finer than Zariski, hence the category of locally affine (ringed) spaces in étale topology is larger than the category of schemes. Algebraic spaces make a category which includes the category of all schemes and is close to the category of locally affine spaces in étale topology, namely it consists of those ringed spaces which may be obtained as a quotient of a scheme by an equivalence relation which is a closed subscheme, and whose projections are étale morphisms of schemes.
Write for the fppf-site (over some scheme, as desired).
An algebraic space is
an object in the sheaf topos;
whose diagonal morphism is representable;
and for which there exists and a morphism which is
surjective;
In this form this appears as de Jong, def. 35.6.1.
