Is "data structures" the correct term here? Assuming I'm not misinterpreting, the usage of "data structures" can be misleading - one usually thinks of things like BST's and hash tables, which are inherently tied to algorithms. I feel like "data modeling" better captures the intended meaning here.

A custom type is also a data structure and that is usually what I think quotes like these refer to.
