16. NERIES Ongoing developments; some examples. Workshops/meetings: Sinaia ‘Observatory coordination workshop’ (May 7-11, 2007), Eridice ‘Statistical Seismology’ (May 31 –June 6, 2007), Vienna ‘Installaton and operation of BB stations (Oct 8-11, 2007), Utrecht ‘ORFEUS workshop’ (June 2008), Barcelona ‘Observatory coordination workshop’ (May 3-7, 2008) Coordinating global XML standards for earthquake (parameter) data: QuakeML Experimenting with Web portal techniques (ORFEUS-EMSC), coordinated with Earthscope portal project. Shakemap developments in Europe coordinated with USGS Access to accelerometric data, data exchange infrastructure Access to research facilities: ETHZ, CEA, INGV, NORSAR, ZAMG!

17. European scale coordination of waveform data exchange It is a joint effort
