<table-wrap> Table Wrapper

Wrapper element for a complete table, including the tabular material (rows and columns), caption (including title), footnotes, and alternative descriptions of the table for purposes of accessibility.

Usage/Remarks

This element has been designed to capture a construct named “table”, whether that structure contains an explicit <table> element (from the NISO JATS XHTM™-inspired table model) contains non-tabular structures such as graphics, lists, or paragraphs. Many publishers associate table captions and table numbers with material that is not explicitly tabular.
Design Note
Many journal tag sets use an element called “Table Footnote” (with a tag such as <tblfn>) for footnotes inside a table. This Tag Set uses <fn> inside tables, as well as everywhere else, relying instead on context to differentiate table footnotes. Footnotes inside a <table-wrap> are assumed to be footnotes to the table and, as part of the table, are displayed at the bottom of the table, usually as part of the <table-wrap-foot>, rather than at the bottom of the page or otherwise separated from the display of the table. In fact, an author can put both referenced footnotes and unreferenced paragraphs directly into the <table-wrap-foot>.
Position
The @position attribute may be used to indicate whether a <table-wrap> 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).
Associating Supplementary Data with a Table
When the data (such as a spreadsheet or dataset) associated with a document has been described using a <supplementary-material> element, then a table (<table-wrap>) can use an internal <xref> to point to that <supplementary-material>. This provides a mechanism to expose the data behind the table. For example, assume that a table (<table-wrap>) is associated with three pieces of supplementary material (each described in a <supplementary-material> element). Three cross references (<xref>) can be embedded in the table tagging to associate the table with all three supplementary items, which may be datasets, additional figures or tables, spreadsheets, etc.
NISO JATS Table Processing Note
In building the NISO JATS table model from the XHTML model, the <caption> element was removed from within the <table> element, because, in the NISO JATS Tag Suite, the <caption> element has been made part of the <table-wrap> element.
Related Elements
The <table> element is an element should be defined by the NISO JATS table model, which is based on and designed to be converted easily to the XHTML 1.1 table model. This element is not, in itself, a full table, but only the rows and columns portions of a table. A full table may have other features, such as a title, caption, table footnotes, etc. The <table-wrap> element contains the full table, that is, both rows and columns as well as captions and footers. A full table (<table-wrap>) may or may not include an actual <table> element within it, since other constructions, such as 2-part lists, may also be given table titles, captions, etc.
