OBS-standards

Definition of marine seismology data and metadata standards, and possibly creation of documents for users

The goals are to:

• define standards (and propose new ones if needed)
• Help data providers to create standardized data and metadata
• Help users to understand and use marine seismology data
• include standards in new “Guidelines for specific datasets” within the StationXML and miniSEED documentation

We want to have a document or documents ready for validation/vote before the next FDSN meeting (September 2025 Lisbon)

The contents of this repository are:

• standards.md: proposed standards
• software.mdL useful, publically available software tools
• The 2024 AGU poster about the Action Group
• References/: old standards documents
• Meetings/: notes from Action Group meetings
• other/: miscellaneous files/directories

The first two documents were started from the information in the "References" directory
