The author considers metric spaces for which there exists a countable ordinal \(\alpha\) such that the \(\alpha\) th successive Ginsburg-Isbell derivative of the metric uniformity contains every open cover of the space. He shows that a separable metric space has this property if, and only if, it is complete and \(\sigma\)-compact.
