In a September 2023 appearance on "The Golden Standard of Data," Brian Anderson discussed the importance of structured data. He stated that "the gold standard really that you're reaching for is data that's also structured and well maintained," which he said enables performance gains and a better understanding of big data without high maintenance costs.
