What is descent data (of higher categories), conceptually?

The category of descent data is indeed the homotopy limit of your cosimplicial diagram. … So, morally, the category of descent data generalises the set of matching elements of a presheaf with respect to a cover. …

What is the equivalent of Artin gluing for quasicoherent sheaves?

Then, by flat descent, or just computing by hand, we have the following bipullback square: $$\require{AMScd} \begin{CD} \textbf{Mod} (\mathbb{Z}) @>>> \textbf{Mod} (\mathbb{Z} [p^{-1}]) \\ @VVV \cong @ …

Pullback as a local property

Yes, this is a question of descent. More precisely you are asking whether the base change functor $F : \mathbf{Mfd}_{/ C} \to \prod_i \mathbf{Mfd}_{/ U_i}$ reflects pullbacks. … In short, $F$ is conservative because jointly surjective families of open embeddings satisfy the descent condition in $\mathbf{Mfd}$. By the way, I would not call $\mathbf{Mfd}$ a nice category. …
