Unstructured and Semistructured Data The Dark Matter for IT Structured data Relational databases, structured data files, system/application data and logs that reside in a data store, defined by a catalog (table definitions)/data model accessible via SQL or Object definitions. This data has a characteristic of being contextualized by the heading (field name) and possibly defined in relation to other "fields.” This data is also capable of being processed in a simple manner, summed or aggregated, etc. Unstructured data Most of the information that resides in organizations is unstructured in nature – images, content of Web documents, standard documents, audio, video and correspondence. This type of information is typically difficult to find effectively if nothing has been done to make the data accessible, such as putting it into a content management system and tagging it with metadata. 25% 5% 70% Semistructured data houses structure with freeform elements (e.g., e-mails) and has structure and context to specific elements in the header, but is freeform text in the body. Semistructured data comes in many forms. Semistructured data is also formed when unstructured data is combined with metadata, making it accessible by search engines via indexing schemas. This is the ideal state for naturally unstructured data within organizations.
