ORFEUS Data Center - mission The primary purpose of the ORFEUS Data Center (ODC) is to collect and archive high quality seismic broadband waveform data from European and Mediterranean organizations, and to give open and rapid access to the data by the scientific community. • The ODC can fulfill this mission only in strong cooperation with seismic observatories, seismic network operators and (active) users from the scientific community. • VEBSN Statement of Operation • EC Infrastructure project: NERIES Observatories and Research Facilities for European Seismology ORFEUS Organization

ORFEUS Data Center – operations in a nutshell • Real-time acquisition of (continuous) broad-band waveform data (mini-SEED; 1 -100 (250) sps) • Generate or collect and validate up-to-date metadata (dataless SEED) • Long term archiving of waveforms and meta data (My. SQL dbase) • Monitoring of data quality (QC) and communication • Building pre-packed QC event based datasets (SEED) • Providing end-user data access services (local and to distributed, inter-connected data archives) • Providing technical support (protocols, software, metadata, etc) Observatories and Research Facilities for European Seismology ORFEUS Organization

NERIES www. neries-eu. org Network of Research Infrastructures for European Seismology Addressing a European infrastructure challenge: archival and availibility of seismological data gathered by observatories and research facilities in Europe and its surroundings. NERIES is an Integrated Infrastructure Initiative (I 3) project in the Sixth Framework Program (FP 6) of the European Commission (EC), aiming at networking the European seismic networks, improving access to data, allowing access to specific seismic infrastructures and pursuing targeted research developing the next generation of tools for improved service and data analysis. The NERIES consortium consists of 25 participants (European universities and research centres) executing 18 different activities: 9 Networking Activities (NA), 5 Joint Research Activities (JRA), and 5 activities concerning Transnational Access (TA). The core of the NERIES project organization lies with the Observatories and Research Facilities for European Seismology (ORFEUS) and the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC). Both organizations are working under the auspices of the European Seismological Commission (ESC). The NERIES Project Office is situated at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI).
