<table-wrap-group> Table Wrapper Group

Container element for tables (<table-wrap> elements) that are to be displayed together.

Usage/Remarks

Position

The @position attribute may be used to indicate whether a <table-wrap-group> must be anchored at its exact location within the text or whether it may float (for example, to the top of the next page, into the next column, to the end of a logical file, or within a separate window).
Multi-language Table/Table Groups
JATS provides several ways to tag tables and groups of tables in multiple languages. The element <block-alternatives> can be used to hold two or more versions of the table (<table-wrap>) or table group (<table-wrap-group>), each in a different language. It is also possible to place multiple <label> and <caption> elements inside a single table or table group, one label and caption for each language, differentiated by @xml:lang attributes. In the case of double labels and captions, the content of the table or table wrap is not repeated, only the labels and captions.
Associating Data with a Table
It is possible to make links to the data behind a table. For example, a summary table aggregating three data sets could point to the datasets it summarized.
If the data resides in the article, use an internal cross-reference (<xref>) to point to the data. If the data is external to the article, for example, in a data repository (more typical), make an external connection using one or more <ext-link> elements within the table tagging. The data behind a table may be integral or supplementary.
Each <table-wrap> within a <table-wrap-group> may make its own external connections using one or more <ext-link> elements within the <table-wrap>s and/or the group as a whole may use the <table-wrap-group> <ext-link>s within the group. The <ext-link> element may be used directly within:
Note that a table and its multiple supporting data objects are described in one table with multiple links, rather than as a table group (<table-wrap-group>) even if the associated data objects are themselves tables.
