strukturierbare

Strukturierbare is a German adjective meaning able to be structured or organized. It is used to describe data, processes, documents, or systems that can be arranged into a defined structure, schema, or hierarchy. The base form is strukturierbar, with strukturierbare serving as the inflected form before feminine singular nouns or in certain plural constructions.

The term appears frequently in fields such as data management, information architecture, and software engineering. Examples include strukturierbare Daten (data that can be structured), strukturierbare Prozesse (processes that can be organized), and strukturierbare Dokumente (documents with a hierarchical structure). In software design, it can describe modular architectures or interfaces designed to be extended and reorganized while preserving an underlying structure. The concept is often used to contrast with unstructured or semi-structured data and to discuss the ease with which information can be defined, queried, and maintained.

In practice, whether something is strukturierbar depends on the existing content and requirements. Some datasets or systems are fully strukturierbar, while others are only partially so due to inherent irregularities or domain-specific constraints. The term is descriptive and common in German-language technical writing, rather than a formal international standard. It is related to notions of Strukturierung (structuring) and data modeling, and it complements discussions about information architecture, metadata, and governance.
