Not in my opinion. Choosing a good presentation for your data is indeed part of the solution of the problem and starts independent from the solution. Describe your data in such a way that you can discuss it with others in a functional way. But even then, you choose a language and a presentation ( an example: some problems are easier described in mahtematics using imaginary numbers, but everyone must understand imaginary numbers before you can use that for the discussion!)
But at the moment you choose a language to solve the domain problem, you must change the data structure. So that it fits efficient ways to match your language. In APL it will be matrices, but in LISP it will be lists.
