What is structured data?

02/21/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

Structured data is data that is in a clearly defined and organized form. It is often stored in databases or tables and follows a specific schema or defined structure. The structure of the data typically includes the definition of column names, data types, and other metadata.

A typical example of structured data is tables in a relational database. Each entry in the table represents an instance of a record, while each column represents the name and data type of the underlying data. Data in this format is easy to process, analyze, and query because it has clear relationships and metadata.

Structured data is usually easier to process than unstructured or semi-structured data because it has a clear, predetermined structure. They are suitable for use in traditional relational databases and can be easily integrated into business applications and reporting systems.
