Semi-structured data is data that does not conform to a strict relational model but still has some organizational structure, often through key-value pairs or graph nodes and edges. In a graph database, relationships between social media users and their followers are represented as edges connecting different nodes (users), providing a form of structure but not as rigid as in traditional relational databases.
Answer: Semi-structured
The correct answer is A - "Semi-structured data". Social media users and followers in a graph database are example of semi-structured data. Semi-structured data has some structure, but not enough to fit into a traditional database. It often includes unstructured elements, such as text and images. Semi-structured data is useful for graph databases, which can help to uncover patterns and relationships in the data.

Graph as non relational db.

Nodes are similar to table rows or JSON documents.
****
I bet semi-structured, even if microsoft do not directly put it in a specific area (as per document or search service).
semi-structured data:
A graph database is a type of NoSQL database that stores data as nodes and edges, which represent entities and relationships². A graph database does not have a rigid schema or structure, but it has some organizational properties that make it easier to analyze, such as metadata or labels attached to nodes and edges². Therefore, a graph database falls into the category of semi-structured data, which is data that has some consistent and definite characteristics, but does not conform to a predefined data model¹. An example of semi-structured data in a graph database is social media users and followers, where each user is a node with attributes such as name, age, location, etc., and each follower relationship is an edge with a direction and a weight.
Type this in ChatGPT "Social media users and followers in a graph database would be an example of structured, semi-structured or unstructured data?" and you'll get a great description and answer of "Structured data".
As per the second video in this link -

It is semi-structured.
Social media users and followers data has a clear structure of followers and users but it can have different properties and different values for each user, that's why it can be considered as semi-structured data.
Structured.
Social media users and followers in a graph database is an example of structured data.
Structured data is data that is organized and can be easily stored, queried, and analyzed in a specific format. Graph databases are designed to store and manage data in a structured way. They are optimized for handling data that is organized in a graph-like structure, which includes nodes (representing entities, such as social media users), and edges (representing relationships between those entities, such as followers).
Unstructured data is data that does not have a specific format and can't be easily stored, queried, and analyzed. Examples of unstructured data include text, images, videos, and audio files.
Semi-structured data is data that has some structure but not as defined as structured data. Examples of semi-structured data include JSON or XML files, which have a defined structure but allow for nested elements and variations in structure.
I tend to believe it is structured, google search showing below :
Both structured and unstructured types of data are created from social media use. The text in a social media post is unstructured data, while information about friendships, followers, groups or networks is structured.
