GOVERNING PROCESSING STEPS FOR EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF ANALYTIC PIPELINES TO WHICH THEY CONTRIBUTE

Systems and methods to implement a model operation application are provided. The method includes defining a plurality of artifacts of a model operation application, where each artifact has an abstract interface, and each artifact is invoked by a corresponding reference. The method also includes organizing references of data inputs and data sinks of the model operation application into a data channel, where the data channel includes one or more data channel artifacts of the plurality of artifacts. The method further includes combining a plurality of processing steps by reference into a scoring flow, wherein the scoring flow is configured to be managed as one or more scoring flow artifacts of the plurality of artifacts. The method further includes attaching the data channel to the scoring flow to form a scoring pipeline, wherein the scoring pipeline comprises one or more scoring pipeline artifacts of the plurality of artifacts.
