| Abstract : | This paper presents a tabular model that abstracts a wide range of concrete tables. The model is presentation independent, because we abstract the logical structure of tables, rather than their presentational format. It is also representation independent, because we specify tables with well-understood mathematical notions, rather than with special representational structures. The model can be used to guide the design and implementation of tabular editors and formatters., |
