[iris-bulk] (workshop) Managing Waveform Data and Related Metadata for Seismic Networks

[IRIS]

‘Managing Waveform Data and Related Metadata for Seismic Networks’

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

October 21-26, 2007



Introduction

The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) Data  
Management System (DMS) is organizing a workshop focused on the  
management of metadata and time series data from seismological  
networks.  This is the third workshop in the series and this workshop  
focuses on networks in the Indian Ocean and SE Asian regions.  The  
goal is to enable open data sharing and exchange of ideas between  
networks in the focus area as well as with the broader global  
seismological community.



Scope

This workshop is a major attempt to share experience and expertise in  
seismological data management. It is directed at managers and  
operators of seismic networks. We shall provide training in the  
application of advanced database management systems, educate  
participants on the scientific developments that form the basis of  
modern seismometry, and give a short introduction to modern methods  
of analysis possible with the current advanced instrumentation and  
databases. We expect participants to come away from the workshop with  
all the necessary knowledge to set up and maintain their own database  
and to link their network to the growing global network for data  
access.  Network managers are encouraged to make a brief presentation  
on their network.
