The multiplicity and the Wyckoff letter say how many copies of the site the group makes in one cell and on which kind of symmetry element the site sits; the 9 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 8 operations. Press Wyckoff under Colour to see the sites, and tick a symmetry element on the left to see which atoms lie on it.
How to read the label
AB2C5D_oP9_47_a_l_gjk_b-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol oP9, then the space-group number 47, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Ba: 1a; Y: 1b; O: 1g; O: 2j; O: 2k; Fe: 2l). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
