Topic: Linking CommunincationRequest to Communication

I was curious if there was a common way for finding what communication resources were created in response to a communicationrequest if you just have the request? Is this a use case for a provenance or something similar?

In Communication, there is a field basedOn, which is the "Request fulfilled by this communication". It is a defined search parameter for Communication, so should work for that.

@Gino Canessa I guess my question is wouldn't that be an expensive operation to find the communication resource if you just have a reference to the request resource? Or is that a benefit of a graph db that you can look forward easily?

@Gino Canessa Oh never mind, you are saying that you can easily search for a communication resource based on a request, I see. Thanks!
