In the semialgebraic context, Delfs and Knebusch defined in 1985 their "locally semialgebraic spaces" and later (only Knebusch) "weakly semialgebraic spaces" as some infinite gluings of semialgebraic spaces. But the majority of model theory seems to be carried out in Mn, where (M,...) is a structure (a kind of "affine" situation).

Do model theorists need to pass to infinite gluings from time to time?
