'''Semi-structured data'''<ref>{{cite web |author=Peter Buneman |title=<!-- Tutorial on --> Semistructured data |journal=Symposium on Principles of Database Systems |date=1997 |url=https://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/opb/papers/PODS1997a.pdf}}</ref> is a form of [[structured data]] that does not conform withobey the formal structure of data models associated with [[relational database]]s or other forms of [[Table (database)|data tables]], but nonetheless contains [[tag (metadata)|tags]] or other markers to separate semantic elements and enforce hierarchies of records and fields within the data. Therefore, it is also known as [[self-describing]] structure.
 
In semi-structured data, the entities belonging to the same class may have different [[attribute (research)|attribute]]s even though they are grouped together, and the attributes' order is not important.
