Theres no right abstraction for it because everyones data is different. From my experience what most developers dont realize is that data is more complex than code. Code is merely the stuff that sits on top of the data, shuffling it around... but designing and handling the data in an efficient way is the real engineering problem.

Any abstraction you could come up with wouldnt fit 90% of the other cases
