METHODS AND SYSTEMS UTILIZING BEHAVIORAL DATA MODELS WITH VARIANTS

Embodiments include computer systems, methods, and program code for developing and utilizing behavioral data models. The model can comprise a property and a behavior of the modeled component, with the property defining a data element of the modeled component and the behavior defining a variably applicable portion of the model. The behavior can comprise a programmatic expression of an operation to be performed when the model is consumed, such as a function for determining when the variably applicable portion of the model is to be used based on a condition. Consuming the model can comprise generating an in-memory representation of the modeled component comprising a data structure corresponding to the property and code configured to evaluate the condition.
