Structured data
Structured data is information organised according to a predefined schema, for example in tables with rows and columns or in labelled fields. This organisation allows computer systems to process it automatically, without ambiguous interpretations.
It is contrasted with unstructured data, such as free text, an image or audio, which does not follow a fixed schema and is more complex to process. The distinction is relevant in data management and, in the blockchain field, in the organisation of the information recorded or handled by protocols.
