Homonym: pipeline (Data)
A "pipeline" is a system used to transport liquids or gases from one location to another. It consists of a series of connected pipes, valves, and pumps that help move the material efficiently. Pipelines are commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, where they carry crude oil, natural gas, and refined products over long distances.
In addition to transporting resources, pipelines can also refer to processes in various fields, such as software development or project management. In these contexts, a pipeline represents a sequence of steps or stages that a project goes through, ensuring that tasks are completed in an organized manner.
