An Abstract Model for Tables
Xlnxin Wang, Derick Wood · 1993
We present a tabular model that abstracts a wide range of tables. We abstract the logical structure of tables, rather than their presentational form. The model can be used to guide the design and implementation of tabular editors and formatters. In addition, the model is formatter independent; it can be used to direct the formatting of tables in many typesetting systems, including TEX.
