[Oslc-Automation] Automation Request and Automation Result relationship

[Pramod K Chandoria]

Hi All,
I am thinking that most often the lifecyle of Automation Request is 
limited and once automation is complete, can be purged from the system any 
time. 
Whereas the lifecycle of AutomationResult is often longer (if not 
forever).
Currently the proposed relationship between AutomationRequest and 
AutomationResult is from AutomationResult to AutomationRequest.

This relationship will become dangling reference very soon once request is 
deleted. I am thinking rather have reference from Automation Request to 
Automation Result.
As long request is in the system, we can track result from it. Result 
anyhow have reference to the AutomationPlan and we can always track what 
was executed to generate it.

Any thoughts?
