Re: [SED-ML-discuss] SED-ML reports

[Richard A. <ra...@st...>]

Hi Frank
   I think that to be consistent with 'Plots' which is the tool's job  
to interpret, it should be up to the tool how results are presented in  
a 'report' format. I don't think results should be included in the  
XML, after all this is markup language for methodological information.
  Cheers
    Richard
