What is unstructured data?

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

Unstructured data is data that has no explicit structure and exists in its raw form. Unlike structured data, which is organized in well-defined tables and columns, unstructured data has no consistent structure or formatting. It can exist in a variety of formats, including text documents, images, videos, audio files, social media posts, emails, and web pages.

Unstructured data is often difficult to analyze because it does not have a clear structure or metadata that can be used to interpret the data. Extracting information from unstructured data often requires complex machine learning algorithms to identify patterns and relationships and extract relevant information.

Despite the difficulties of processing unstructured data, they can provide valuable insights into consumer behavior, market trends, social interactions, and other areas. Therefore, they play an important role in data analysis and processing, especially in the field of Big Data.
