2009 Metadata Workshop in Cairo, Egypt
November 8-17, 2009

Managing Waveform Data and Related Metadata for Seismic Networks

The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) Data
Management System (DMS) and the ORFEUS Data Centre are organizing a
workshop focused on the management of metadata and time series data
from seismological networks. 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.

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.
