11. A method of representing a data flow in a linguistic, non-graphical manner, comprising: receiving a linguistic, non-graphical, representation of a data flow structure, wherein the linguistic, non-graphical data, representation of the data flow structure was not previously derived from any graphical representation of a data flow and wherein the linguistic, non-graphical, representation of the data flow structure includes a plurality of actions chained together in which outputs of one or more of the actions are bound as inputs to one or more of the other actions; parsing the linguistic, non-graphical, representation of the data flow structure; interpreting the plurality of chained-together actions included in the linguistic, non-graphical, representation of the data flow structure; and processing data based at least in part upon the interpretation of the plurality of chained-together actions included the linguistic, non-graphical data flow structure; wherein the method is performed by a data flow processor of a spreadsheet program embodied on a computer readable-storage medium of a computer.
