Dear FDSN WG members. (I believe this relates to both WGII and WGIII so I am sending it to both lists)

Please study this recommendation coming from our colleagues in France with a specific recommendation from Chad Trabant from IRIS that addresses this shortcoming.

Please respond if you agree or disagree with the proposed recommendation by March 13 and be sure to include Gale Cox who will tally the responses.

Cheers

Subject: FDSN WG III proposal for small edit to the web service specification regarding fdsnws-station text output


Hi Tim,

The Grenoble group has identified an inconsistency in the FDSN Web Services specification. The issue is that there is a mismatch between the "template" and example for station-level text output from the fdsnws-station specification. Specifically the example contains an extra field for "SiteName" that is not included in the template. The original intention was to include the SiteName column as illustrated by the example.

To resolve this inconsistency and avoid future confusion I propose the following:

a) Modify the station-level text "template" on page 12 of the specification to include a SiteName column matching the example on page 13.

b) Internally change the specification version from "1.1 to "1.1b" and describe the modification in the Changes section of the document. The file name and URL to the specification will not change.

The IRIS service and services based on SeisComP, representing a majority of FDSN WS implementations, include the SiteName column and would not be effected by this change.

Please forward to the Working Group as needed.

Chad


Current station-level template:
level=station

Network|Station|Latitude|Longitude|Elevation|StartTime|EndTime Network|Station|Latitude|Longitude|Elevation|StartTime|EndTime
...

Current station-level example:
#Network | Station | Latitude | Longitude | Elevation | SiteName | StartTime | EndTime

Proposed new station-level template:
level=station

Network|Station|Latitude|Longitude|Elevation|SiteName|StartTime|EndTime Network|Station|Latitude|Longitude|Elevation|SiteName|StartTime|EndTime
...

Note new "SiteName" column.






  • Dear FDSN partners:
    I approve of this administrative clarification and update to the template.
    I appreciate that the site name is fully supported.

    Thank you,

    Subject: FDSN WG III proposal for small edit to the web service specification regarding fdsnws-station text output


    Hi Tim,

    The Grenoble group has identified an inconsistency in the FDSN Web Services specification. The issue is that there is a mismatch between the "template" and example for station-level text output from the fdsnws-station specification. Specifically the example contains an extra field for "SiteName" that is not included in the template. The original intention was to include the SiteName column as illustrated by the example.

    To resolve this inconsistency and avoid future confusion I propose the following:

    a) Modify the station-level text "template" on page 12 of the specification to include a SiteName column matching the example on page 13.

    b) Internally change the specification version from "1.1 to "1.1b" and describe the modification in the Changes section of the document. The file name and URL to the specification will not change.

    The IRIS service and services based on SeisComP, representing a majority of FDSN WS implementations, include the SiteName column and would not be effected by this change.

    Please forward to the Working Group as needed.

    Chad


    Current station-level template:

    level=station

  • Hello,

    The CNDC supports this change.

    This may be a good time to mention that we're working on a web service for the Canadian CNSN data, modeled on the FDSN service.
    This is still in the early phases.

    Dear FDSN WG members. (I believe this relates to both WGII and WGIII so I am sending it to both lists)

    Please study this recommendation coming from our colleagues in France with a specific recommendation from Chad Trabant from IRIS that addresses this shortcoming.

    Please respond if you agree or disagree with the proposed recommendation by March 13 and be sure to include Gale Cox who will tally the responses.

  • Hello members of FDSN working Groups II and III

    I should have reported back to you earlier, but everyone that replied by the March 13, 2015 deadline approved this recommendation from RESIF. So consider it adopted and those needing to implement should move forward on it.
