We present a new characterization of σ-fragmentability and illustrate its usefulness by proving some results relating analyticity and crfragmentability. We show, for instance, that a Banach space with the weak topology is σ-fragmented if, and only if, it is almost Čech-analytic and that an almost Čech-analytic topological space is σ-fragmented by a lower-semicontinuous metric if, and only if, each compact subset of the space is fragmented by the metric.
