Birkir,

Sorry I'm so late in answering you :s
Andrew and Steve gave good examples.

Let me add AcceDe Manuals to it.

Here you can find two examples of tagged data tables :
http://www.pdf-accessible.com/IMG/pdf/tagged-exercise-book.pdf
(pages 6 and 7)

In AcceDe PDF Manual (http://www.pdf-accessible.com/en/accede-manuals/),
from page 57 you can find too more explanation about :
- tagging rows, cells and headers,
- linking the headers with their corresponding cells for “basic” data
tables and foor “complex” data tables (cells linked to their header by
an ID).

Regards,

Sébastien Delorme
