A compositional model encodes probabilistic relationships among variables of interest. In connection with various statistical techniques, it represents a practical tool for data modeling and data mining. Structure of the model represents (un)conditional independencies among all variables. Relationships of dependent variables are described by low-dimensional probability distributions. Having a compositional model, a data miner can easily apply an intervention on variables of interest, fix values of other variables (conditioning), or to narrow the context of a problem (marginalization). The model learning process can be controlled to avoid overfitting of data.

In this paper, we present a new semi-supervised web application that will enable researchers to design probabilistic (compositional) models (both causal and stochastic). Thanks to the web architecture of the system, the researchers will always have a possibility to influence the data-based model construction process from any place of the world. It is also expected that the application of this methodology to practical problems will open new problems that will be an inspiration for further theoretical research.
