Tabular data
Digital data already in tabular form integrate into the GIS database in two very important ways. First, they form the basis for GIS feature attributes. In this case they must be linked somehow to the objects forming the spatial geometry.
Attribute (tabular data) is descriptive data that GIS links to map features.
Charts display tabular data graphically. In ArcView, charts are fully integrated with tables and views so you can choose the table records (theme features) you want displayed on the chart by simply clicking on them.
Good notes on Loading Tabular Data can be found in ArcGIS on-line help. Note that tables won't be visible in the map's table of contents until you choose the Source tab at the bottom of the table of contents.
