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 is no there there.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“I’m a Sunday School teacher, and I’ve always known that the structure of law is founded on the Christian ethic that you shall love the Lord your God and your neighbor as yourself—a very high and perfect standard. We all know the fallibility of man, and the contentions in society, as described by Reinhold Niebuhr and many others, don’t permit us to achieve perfection.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
