What is structured data?

[taxiongo]

Structured data is data that has been predefined and formatted to a set structure before being placed in data storage, which is often referred to as schema-on-write. The best example of structured data is the relational database: the data has been formatted into precisely defined fields, such as credit card numbers or address, in order to be easily queried with SQL.

Structured data is any data that is organized. For example, if you have a bunch of scattered Post-It notes with phone messages about meetings, dates, times, people, etc, and you organize these into a table with labeled rows and columns for each type of information, you’re structuring the data.

Structured data is data that has been organized into a formatted repository, typically a database, so that its elements can be made addressable for more effective processing and analysis. A data structure is a kind of repository that organizes information for that purpose.
