Table templates needed

[Flagro]

Before we collect/generate dataset of real excel tables we need to decide on the table format that we need to find correctly.

[Grigory-T]

My suggestion on format to start with (all terms according to scheme below strictly)

1. Flat table (Rows zone only)

• rzone_header may be 1 or more lines
• rzone_header and rzone must have same number of columns
• rzone_header and rzone are directly adjacent to each other
• every row in rzone must have at least one non-empty cell

3. Matrix table (Rows zone and Columns zone)

• czone_header is not used in real Excel data. So we do not deal with it
• Tail zone is rare in Excel. So we do not deal with it
• czone may be 1 or more lines
• Body zone uniquely determined by rzone and czone coordinates
• rzone_header and czone may be not alligned,
• rzone_header and czone may be not directly adjacent with each other (!!!)
