EAD Tag Library for Version 1.0


EAD Elements: <table> Table

Description:

A wrapper element for formatting information in a row and column display. It is most often used within the Adjunct Descriptive Data <add> element to encode text that is arranged in a generic table. Do not confuse with the optional tabular display achieved within the Description of Subordinate Components <dsc> by using the <drow> and <dentry> elements.

The application of the <table> element in EAD is based on a United States Department of Defense CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support) table model, which was chosen for EAD because it is the model most supported by available software and because it is used by most public SGML applications.

head, tgroup
