327- The `space-<label>` entity can be used to indicate the way in which electrode positions are interpreted
328- (for EEG/MEG/iEEG data)
329- or the spatial reference to which a file has been aligned (for MRI data).
330- The `<label>` MUST be taken from one of the modality specific lists in the
331- [Coordinate Systems Appendix](SPEC_ROOT/appendices/coordinate-systems.md).
332- For example, for iEEG data, the restricted keywords listed under
333- [iEEG Specific Coordinate Systems](SPEC_ROOT/appendices/coordinate-systems.md#ieeg-specific-coordinate-systems)
334- are acceptable for `<label>`.
335-
336- For EEG/MEG/iEEG data, this entity can be applied to raw data,
337- but for other data types, it is restricted to derivative data.
327+ The `space-<label>` entity indicates the coordinate system for interpreting
328+ spatial coordinates.
329+ For sensor-based modalities, such as EEG/MEG/iEEG,
330+ the space indicates how sensor positions are reported;
331+ for imaging modalities,
332+ the space indicates a reference image to which a file has been aligned.
333+ A list of common spaces is defined in the
334+ [Coordinate Systems Appendix](SPEC_ROOT/appendices/coordinate-systems.md),
335+ and these SHOULD be used as `<label>` values for data reported in those
336+ spaces.
337+
338+ Note that the space entity is broadly applicable to derivative data,
339+ but is only defined for a subset of raw data types.
340+ For particular use cases, `<label>` may be restricted to a set of enumerated values.
