Structured data
Structured data aligns with a predefined data model. Examples include names, social security numbers, addresses, etc. Because this data is highly organized, users can leverage tools such as a relational database management system (RDBMS) to input and modify structured data. Structured data is often transactional and quantitative in nature (e.g., financial transaction data).
