==Knowledge and information==

''Structure'' is how a story, narrative, anecdote or other writings of information and knowledge are made. More generally, a structure is the  composition of knowledge as elements and their combinations. The [[content]] is the information and experiences created by individuals, institutions and technology to benefit audiences in contexts that they value. This include the raw content is content in format that is detectable by an observer and the sections, parts or the whole of a document regardless of the medium. Structure forms the subject of the plot, in narrative works. The book by Thomas Kuhn on the history of science, entitled ''[[The Structure of Scientific Revolutions]]'', is an analysis of the history of science. Its publication was a landmark event in the sociology of knowledge, and popularized the terms paradigm and paradigm shift. Among the people that are notable in the concept of structure, [[Alfred Korzybski]] is probably best-remembered for developing the theory of [[general semantics]].

==Abstract structure==

==Abstract structure==

An [[abstract structure]] is a formal object that is defined by a set of laws, properties, and relationships in a way that is logically if not always historically independent of the structure of contingent experiences, for example, those involving physical objects. Abstract structures are studied not only in logic and mathematics but in the fields that apply them, as computer science, and in the studies that reflect on them, as philosophy and especially the philosophy of mathematics. Indeed, modern mathematics has been defined in a very general sense as the study of abstract structures. [[Mathematical structure]] on a set, additional mathematical objects that in some manner attach to the set, making it easier to visualize or work with, or endowing the collection with meaning or significance
