What are examples of structured vs unstructured data?
Structured data refers to information in “tables”, data with a known schema.
E.g.
| Employee | Manager | Salary |
|---|---|---|
| Smith | Jones | 5000 |
| Chang | Smith | 6000 |
| … | … | … |
Unstructured data on the other hand refers to information which has no clear structure, e.g. text from books.
That being said, usually data is just semi-structured, linguistics still has some structure for text, and bullets.
