“…Example 3.17 (Example for a target category: Cospans in E ∞ -algebras). For the main constructions of the present article we will be interested in the following target: Given an (∞, 1)-category C with finite colimits, we obtain by dualizing the results of [Hau17] an (∞, 1)-category Cospan(C) of cospans in C. When presented as a Segal space this (∞, 1)-category can be explicitly described in degree k ≥ 0 as follows: First denote by Σ k the partially ordered set of pairs (i, j) such that 0 ≤ i ≤ j ≤ k, where (i, j) ≤ (i , j ) if i ≤ i and j ≤ j [Hau17, Definition 5.1]. In fact, Σ • yields a cosimplicial object in categories.…”
