Summary:  A multiple operator integral (MOI) is an indispensable tool in several branches of noncommutative analysis. However, there are substantial technical issues with the existing literature on the ``separation of variables'' approach to defining MOIs, especially when the underlying Hilbert spaces are not separable. In this paper, we provide a detailed development of this approach in a very general setting that resolves existing technical issues. Along the way, we characterize several kinds of ``weak'' operator valued integrals in terms of easily checkable conditions and prove a useful Minkowski-type integral inequality for maps with values in a semifinite von Neumann algebra.
