I am not totally clear how you envision the algorithm ontology. Here 
http://opentox.org/dev/apis/api-1.1/Algorithm you propose that a 
GET on /algorithm/{id} returns an algorithm_ontology_uri. Could you
specify what I do get back from something like that:

GET /algorithm_ontology/{id}

Would this return the XML (or whatever we choose) representation of the
algorithm?

But if this works out, I basically agree with a simplified API
(/algorithm/{id})

Tobias
