Does anyone know of such a tool which already exists? If nothing else, it might be good for salvaging ideas from. Some quick Googling doesn't reveal anything beyond simple tools where you can put in the numbers for a single equation and tools special fitted for a single application.

I've already posted this link in a reply lower down the thread, but here. SMILE seems built explicitly to be used as an API, but I'm not sure I like the way it stores data nor its I/O methods. So far, OpenMarkov with the ProbModelXML are the most attractive implementations, and I think something closer to that (or perhaps use them as API / backend straight-up, depending on language considerations and interfacing issues) would be more straightforward to implement.

As for looking for apps that do this for general use, I've been toying around with this for a bit and it seems quite fun and intuitive to use (well, to someone who knows some bayes anyway).
