Anotation:
The contribution discusses an approach utilizing properties of conditional independence relations that enables assembling a multidimensional model from a system of its simple submodels. Unfortunately, the concept of conditional independence has been for belief functions defined in several ways and none of them fully meets the necessary requirements. Therefore a new approach how to define conditional independence for belief functions is introduced.
