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:
“The more technique you have, the less you have to worry about it. The more technique there is, the less there is.”
—Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
“... the structure of our public morality crashed to earth. Above its grave a tombstone read, “Be tolerant—even of evil.” Logically the next step would be to say to our commonwealth’s criminals, “I disagree that it’s all right to rob and murder, but naturally I respect your opinion.” Tolerance is only complacence when it makes no distinction between right and wrong.”
—Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 2, ch. 2 (1962)
