Hello List,

I am investigating the possibility to use icalserver to store medical appointments.

This means either:

- a physician (a user of the calendar)
- a patient
- a given day and time

or

- a resource (XRay material, etc...)
- a patient
- a given day and time

Now, I have two problems:

1)
It looks like I can only have participants which come from AddressBook. In my situation, participants are patients and come from a central database. They are identified by a GUUID. Obviously, I need to be able to search for all events for a given patient or add an event for a patient. Patients can't be users (I may have thousands of them).

How would you do this from the Cocoa API? Or, if not possible from the Cocoa API, is this possible some other way through the CalDAV protocole? Maybe it is not as "participants" but as some additional info I should register a patient for an event?

2)
It looks like I can't register through iCal an event with only a resource and a participant. I need a user. However, if a patient comes for an XRay, I know he will be using a given resource (the XRay machine), I know the patient, but the technician who will be in charge of handling the XRay is unknown (or at least, not important at that stage of setting up the appointment). I need to be able to know where there is still room with a resource for a given exam. And as for question 1, I need to be able to search for all future exams for a given patient or add an exam for a patient. Again, how can I do this through the Cocoa API? Or, if not possible, through the CalDAV protocole.

Thanks for any hint,

Alexander
