Typically this text replicates the contents of a non-searchable graphic. It's
under figure or table wrap. Any body had experience to tag this in JATS?Well,

JATS does not have a <search-text> element, of course.
There are a few possibles, see below. (I want everybody to read your
example first)

The first thing that comes to mind is to use <alternatives>
inside <table-wrap>. One alternative would be the <graphic>,
the second alternative would be <textual-form>.

This is one of the documented uses of <textual-form>.
To quote from the Tag Library;

Usage Search Text: The <textual-form> element can also be used to supply the
text of an object for searching. In such a usage, it is not intended that the
<textual-form> be displayed to the user, only that it provide a textual view
of the object to a search system. This technique can allow unsearchable binary
formats, such as graphics and untagged tables represented as graphics, to be
represented in a form that can be searched or indexed.

So the example would look like this:

> <table-wrap id="tbl1">
> <label>1</label>
> <caption>
> <title>Demographic Characteristics by Community</title></caption>
<alternatives>
> <graphic copyright="inherit" id="tbl1a" xlink:href="ort_83_4_528_tbl1a.tif"
xlink:type="simple"/>
<textual-form>

</textual-form>
<alternatives>
> <table-wrap>



Hope this helps.
