Medicine resource API

[cookeac]

There may be value in having a medicine resource API (a minimal icarMedicineResource is defined but this could benefit from other properties, including withdrawal periods by species).

This would allow master lists of medicines to be shared:

• nationally; or
• by recording service for clients of that service; or
• by software packages for clients of that package.

What expectations would you have around such an API - would you use it? What would you expect to retrieve? What filter parameters would you expect?
