A Tabular Data Structure is a two-dimensional data structure with named columns/named attributes.
- AKA: Tabular Data Object.
- Context:
- It can (typically) contain a Tabular Data Record.
- It can (typically) represent Tabular Data Item.
- It can represent a Tabular Record Set.
- It can range from being an Unindexed Tabular Data Structure to being an Indexed Tabular Data Structure.
- It can range from being an Homogeneous Tabular Data Structure to being an Heterogeneous Tabular Data Structure.
- It can support a Tabular Data Structure Operation.
- Example(s):
- a pandas.DataFrame Table, such as
pandas.DataFrame([2,7])(instance of a pandas.DataFrame data structure) - a Postgres Table, such as
....(instance of a SQL table data structure) - an Array Data Structure.
- a Scala Tabular Data Structure, such as
mutable.Map[TupleN[A1, A2, ..., AN], R]
- a pandas.DataFrame Table, such as
- Counter-Example(s):
- See: Tuple, pandas.Series.
