Lee Giles, CiteSeerX indexes tables, posted to American Scientist Open Access Forum, June 11, 2009.
CiteSeerX now provides indexing and ranking of tables in documents. This new feature will soon be released in open source as part of the CiteSeerX open source project. Currently, nearly a million tables are indexed.
In addition, a demo of the data extraction from tables in pdf files can be found at [link] ...
... Table search allows users to search embedded tables of documents in the CiteSeerx collection. Table caption, reference text and footnotes are indexed for each table. Ranking of table search results can be based on relevance, year and the number of citations to the corresponding document in CiteSeerx.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
