Answer to Question 1

Information is classified into three types, based on how ordered and organized it is. Facts and data that are reasonably ordered, can be broken down into component parts, and organized into hierarchies are called structured information. For example, a credit card company maintains customer records in a structured format with elements such as last name, first name, street address, phone number, and email address.
Information that has no inherent structure or order is called unstructured information. For example, a manila folder in which educational certificates, employment records, bills, warranties, and medical prescriptions are stored.
The information category that falls between structured and unstructured information is called semi-structured information. It includes facts and data that show at least some structure, such as web pages and documents, which bear creation dates, titles, and authors.
