strutturata

Strutturata is the feminine singular form of the past participle of the Italian verb strutturare (to structure). When used as an adjective, strutturata means "structured" or "organized according to a defined structure." It agrees with feminine nouns; the masculine singular form is strutturato, the plural forms are strutturati (masc.) and strutturate (fem.).

Common uses of the term span a range of domains where an order or organization is emphasized. It can describe texts, plans, systems, formats, or data that follow a defined structure. For example, one speaks of a "testo strutturato" (a structured text) or of "dati strutturati" (structured data). In computing and data management, strutturata data are contrasted with unstructured data, indicating that the information is arranged according to a schema or model.

In linguistics and grammar, the term may be used to characterize sentences or phrases with explicit hierarchical organization, while in project planning or architecture one might refer to a "progetto strutturato" to emphasize a clear, methodical arrangement of components. The concept also appears in everyday language to describe anything organized in a coherent, repeatable pattern.

Etymologically, strutturata derives from the Latin structura, related to struct- from the verb struere, meaning to build or arrange. The word forms part of a family of Italian terms such as struttura (structure), strutturare (to structure), and strutturazione (structuring).
