Grothendieck spectral sequence (cohomology version) for posets with functor coefficient

In this paper, Quillen mentioned a spectral sequence as follows. Let $f:X\to Y$ is a poset map and $\mathcal{F}:X\to Ab$, where $Ab$ is the category of abelian groups, a functor which is contravariant ...

Are these comparison morphisms between Čech and Grothendieck cohomology the same?

For better or for worse, there is more than one approach to comparing Čech cohomology $\smash{\check{H}}^\bullet(\mathfrak{U},X;\mathscr{F})$ of a sheaf $\mathscr{F}$ on a space $X$ w.r.t the cover $\...
