Interfaces for specifying input datasets, computational steps, and outputs of a data pipeline

One or more computer storage media storing computer-useable instructions that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, via a graphical user interface, input instructing creation of a data pipeline, wherein the graphical user interface is configured to generate interface elements associated with a configuration of the data pipeline, the configuration comprising a specification of:
• an input dataset, one or more computational steps for the data pipeline, and a collaborative dataset that is derivable by executing the one or more computational steps on the input dataset, wherein the interface elements enable:
• configuring fine-grained element-by-element parameterized access controls on the one or more computational steps that are operations that are executable on the data pipeline,
• receiving multi-collaborator approval of the one or more computational steps in the data pipeline, and
• triggering the data pipeline to derive the collaborative dataset based on approval of the data pipeline from collaborators and receiving input from an authorized one of the collaborators requesting to trigger the data pipeline;
• causing display of a menu with interaction elements configured to navigate to a first interface that prompts for and accepts parameters that specify input datasets, a second interface that prompts for and accepts parameters that specify computational steps, and a third interface that prompts for and accepts parameters that specify outputs derivable by executing the computational steps on the input datasets;
• and
• based on inputs into the first, second, and third interfaces, storing a representation of the input datasets, the computational steps, and the outputs of the data pipeline, without exposing contents of the input datasets.
