There Is Always Structure
The term is imprecise for several reasons;
- structure, while not formally defined, can still be implied and
- data with some form of structure may still be characterized as unstructured if its structure is not helpful for the processing task at hand, and
- unstructured information might have some structure (semi-structured) or even be highly structured but in ways that are unanticipated or unannounced.

Famous quotes containing the words there is and/or structure:
“There, there is only order and beauty,
Luxury, quietness, and pleasure.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“One theme links together these new proposals for family policy—the idea that the family is exceedingly durable. Changes in structure and function and individual roles are not to be confused with the collapse of the family. Families remain more important in the lives of children than other institutions. Family ties are stronger and more vital than many of us imagine in the perennial atmosphere of crisis surrounding the subject.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
