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.
