We outline the key requirements for a Big Data modelling recommender tool. Our web-based tool is suitable for capturing system requirements in big data analytics applications involving diverse stakeholders. It promotes awareness of the datasets and algorithm implementations that are available to leverage in the design of the solution. We implement these ideas in BiDaML-web, a proof of concept recommender system for Big Data applications, and evaluate the tool using an empirical study with a group of 16 target end-users. Participants found the integrated recommender and technique suggestion tools helpful and highly rated the overall BiDaML web-based modelling experience. BiDaML-web is available at https://bidaml.web.app/ and the source code can be accessed at https://github.com/tarunverma23/bidaml.
