In computer science, a linked data structure is a data structure which consists of a set of data records (nodes) linked together and organized by references...

Semi-structured data is a form of structured data that does not obey the tabular structure of data models associated with relational databases or other...

In computer science, a concurrent data structure (also called shared data structure) is a data structure designed for access and modification by multiple...

data structure or space-efficient data structure is a data structure that stores very little information other than the main or required data: a data...

A data model explicitly determines the structure of data; conversely, structured data is data organized according to an explicit data model or data structure...

data structure (PDS), also termed a plain old data structure or plain old data (POD), is a record, in contrast with objects. It is a data structure that...

A data structure diagram (DSD) is the visual representation of a certain kind of data model that contains entities, their relationships, and the constraints...

compressed data structure arises in the computer science subfields of algorithms, data structures, and theoretical computer science. It refers to a data structure...

In computer science, a succinct data structure is a data structure which uses an amount of space that is "close" to the information-theoretic lower bound...

technique of representing an aggregate data structure so that it is convenient for writing programs that traverse the structure arbitrarily and update its contents...

computer science, a tree is a widely used abstract data type that represents a hierarchical tree structure with a set of connected nodes. Each node in the...

functional data structure is a data structure that can be directly implemented in a purely functional language. The main difference between an arbitrary data structure...
