table-model Table Model Used

Which table model is used by the tag set for this document?

Usage/Remarks

Until Version 2.1 of BITS, @dtd-version was a #FIXED attribute, set in the schema/DTD, that could not be changed by the BITS user. It was intended to name the highest-level version of BITS to which the document was valid. Being #FIXED meant that the attribute was always there, even if it was not present in the document.
Since the @dtd-version attribute has never provided a complete description of which version of the tag set a document is associated with, several attributes were added to the <processing-meta> element to describe the version choices more fully:
@tagset-family
Which of the JATS tag set families is the basis for this document’s tag set? In BITS, this is fixed to “bits”.
@table-model
Which table model is used by the tag set for this document? (e.g., “xhtml” or “oasis”)
@mathml-version
Which version of MathML is used by the tag set for this document? (e.g., “3.0” or “2.0”). In BITS, this is fixed to “3.0”.
@math-representation
A list of the (possibly many) ways mathematical expressions may be represented in this document (e.g., both MathML and TeX [“mathml tex”])

Best Practice for no Tables

If no table model is used in this tag set, either because this is a derivative tag set that does not use a table model or because standard BITS (which defines a table model) is used but tables are never tagged, this attribute should be set to “none”.
OPTIONAL on element: <processing-meta>
Value Meaning
both Both XHTML-inspired and OASIS CALS models are used
none No table models are used
oasis The OASIS XML Exchange (CALS) table model
xhtml The XHTML-inspired table model
Restriction @table-model is an optional attribute; there is no default.
