Is a ot:Model a subclass of ot:Algorithm?

Then again... ot:Algorithm is an implementation of an algorithm,
correct? And an ot:Model would be a more abstract 'model'... but
ot:Model is actually the implementation too, right? Otherwise, you
could not use it to actually have it calculate something...

At the Blue Obelisk Descriptor ontology, we do not have the concept of
a 'model', but algorithms (descriptions or protocols for how to do
something), and implementations (algorithms expressed in a programming
language, possibly using a particular set of data, such as isotope
masses, atom type lists, etc).
