Abstract	Tables appearing in natural language documents provide a compact method for presenting relational information in an immediate and intuitive manner, while simultaneously organizing and indexing that information. Despite their ubiquity and obvious utility, tables have not received the same level of formal characterization enjoyed by sentential text. Rather, they are modeled in terms of geometry, simple hierarchies of strings and database-like relational structures. Tables have been the focus of a large volume of research in the document image analysis field and lately, have received particular attention from researchers interested in extracting information from non-trivial elements of web pages. This paper provides a framework for representing tables at both the semantic and structural levels. It presents a representation of the indexing structures present in tables and the relationship between these structures and the underlying categories.
