Detailed explanation-1: -What Is Unstructured Data? Unstructured data is information that has no set organization and doesn’t fit into a defined framework. Examples of unstructured data include audio, video, images, and all manner of text: reports, emails, social media posts, etc.
Detailed explanation-2: -Unstructured data is information that is not arranged according to a preset data model or schema, and therefore cannot be stored in a traditional relational database or RDBMS. Text and multimedia are two common types of unstructured content.
Detailed explanation-3: -Similarly, in digital photographs, the image does not have a pre-defined structure itself but has certain structural attributes making them semi-structured. For instance, if an image is taken from a smartphone, it would have some structured attributes like geotag, device ID, and DateTime stamp.
Detailed explanation-4: -Unstructured simply means that it is datasets (typical large collections of files) that aren’t stored in a structured database format. Unstructured data has an internal structure, but it’s not predefined through data models. It might be human generated, or machine generated in a textual or a non-textual format.
Detailed explanation-5: -It consists of mainly unstructured data-a large number of pixels. However, metadata associated with an image makes it semi-structured data, and this metadata can indicate the subject, time when created, name of the creator, description, and so on, enabling categorization and analysis.
