I guess ontology stuff can get a bit philosophical... if you consider
the specification of a particular model or algorithm a 'document',
then it sounds suitable for me. In fact, this probably is the case,
not? The service itself can be down for any particular reason, even if
it is published or retracted.

Sure.

Nina, does the OpenTox ontology distinguish currently between a model
/ algorithm instance and its specification?

(This reminds me about the discussion of http://example.org/SomeTopic
is the URI of a webpage or the URI of the resource described on that
webpage :)
