This disclosure relates to industrial data services, data modeling and applications for controlling an industrial operation. In one implementation, a platform is disclosed for allocating a data modeling request to a collaborative group of experts based on a two-dimensional data modeling flow data structure and a multilayer resource allocation graph to obtain a data model for controlling the industrial operation. The two-dimensional data modeling flow data structure and the multilayer resource allocation graph are established from an industrial graph knowledgebase using various data analytics and machine learning techniques.
