Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems provide for imposing structure onto a freeform or irregular table so that a subsequent consuming application may use the table, including presentation of the table and location of the data in the table. A generic grid structure is created having a plurality of uniformly-shaped cells such that if the generic grid is overlaid onto the irregular table, each cell within the irregular table may be located based on its position relative to the uniform cells or grids. The grid structure creates a coordinate system for defining the shape of the irregular table, for defining locations and shapes of cells comprising the irregular table and for addressing the locations of data contained in the irregular table.
