From irismail at iris.washington.edu Tue Jan 6 08:04:07 2009 From: irismail at iris.washington.edu (IRIS) Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2009 08:04:07 -0800 Subject: [fdsn-wg5-portable] REMINDER: FDSN Working Group V - Portable Instrumentation - Meeting at IASPEI Cape Town Message-ID: Dear All, There will be an FDSN WG V meeting at IASPEI in Cape Town: FDSN working group V: Portable instrumentation Wednesday, Jan 14, 2009; 17:00 - 18:30 The meeting will be chaired by Jim Fowler of Passcal. Following the previous meeting, Jim has been developing a utility for the community to improve access and cooperation with regards data from portable instrumentation. You can see a prototype of the web map at: www.passcal.nmt.edu/cgi-bin/projects/mapproj.cgi The remit of the project is below. Your feedback is requested as this is still a development tool, and Jim is keen to get people's views (jim at iris.edu ). Currently the demo is for Passcal projects only. However, the aim is to have a generic tool which data centres, instrument facilities or even institutions can run themselves. Regards Alex Demonstration Project: In order to promote more cooperation among PIs and to promote the use of portable data a small demonstration project was proposed. The project goal is to develop an application that can track information related to the status of portable experiments and their data. Experiments would be plotted on a map with future experiments plotted as a bounding box and then as more information becomes available stations would be plotted as actual latitudes and longitudes. Clicking on station symbols will bring up information on the experiment and the status of the data availability information on how to access it. The initial demonstration project will be developed for handling future experiments. The application will be simple to implement so that each facility will be responsible for creating the map of its experiments. The maps will be created so that they can be displayed individually or combined as layers to display all of the experiments. ----------------------------------------- SEIS-UK, Geology, University of Leicester University Road, Leicester, LE1 7RH, UK tel +44 116 2523627 fax +44 116 2523918 amb27 at le.ac.uk - www.le.ac.uk/seis-uk/ ----------------------------------------- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
