Yes. We are currently storing these associations within ToxCreate, but a
common OpenTox mechanism would be very useful.  At present we can trace
back from reports to validations to models (@Martin please correct me if
I am wrong), but not the other way round. 

I can see the following options:

- Register reports instead of models in the Ontology service (not very
  intuitive)
- Add validation/report URIs to model metadata (at present our services
  prohibit modifications of models after creation to avoid invalidation of
  validation results)
- Store association between models, validations and reports at the
  Ontology service

Christoph
