3. Europe: waveform data >100 Seismological Observatoria in Europe and its surroundings (+ ~ 80 university and research institutes) Instrumentation and approximate number of stations: –Broadband (BB) ~ 500 (permanent) (not not including arrays) –Very Long Period (VLP) ~ < 40 (permanent) and gravimeters –Short period (SP) ~ 1500 (permanent) –Ocean Bottom Seismometers (OBS) few –Acceleration (ACC) > 1000 –Mobile BB (Germany, France, UK, Switzerland, Netherlands, … ) > 300

4. Europe: waveform data exchange Organisation and international agreements: Bilateral agreements Project based agreements –Geofon (GFZ, Europe/Global), MedNet (INGV, EuroMed), Geoscope (IPGP, Global) European scale agreement –ORFEUS (Multinational funded foundation) ORFEUS (with the FDSN) pursues free data exchange for research. Technologies (selection): (Near) real-time data exchange – SeedLink, Internet, VSAT, telephone, radio-link. FTP – based mechanisms AutoDRM – email protocol (ETHZ) In development and being implemented at ODC: – WebDC (GFZ-WWW), DHI (IRIS-internet)

5. Europe: waveform data and funding National observatories (France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, UK, etc.) –Usually (semi) governmental institutions. –Funding: national  national (risk) motives Research projects (Geoscope(F), Geofon (D), MedNet (I)) –Universities and (research) organisations  projects –Funding: mainly national  (national) research priorities ORFEUS (European NGO - foundation) –BB data archiving and exchange coordination EuroMed area –Funding: Corporate founders (13) and EC projects (EU) –EU emphasises applied research funding (security, environment) IRIS DMC (American NGO ) –BB event data and continuous data (USA + core FDSN) –Funding: National, US National Science Foundation (NSF)

6. Towards a European seismological data infrastructure EC-projects and European strategy by ORFEUS and EMSC: Parameter and waveform data exchange (AutoDRM): EMSC & KNMI/ORFEUS: Transfrontier (1994-1997) Automatic parameter data exchange and European alerts: EMSC & KNMI/ORFEUS: Rapid warning (1996-1998) European unified catalogue: EMSC: EPSI (2001-2003) Continuous RT waveform data exchange and secure archiving: ORFEUS: MEREDIAN (2000-2005) European core of comprehensive data availability: ORFEUS & EMSC: NERIES (2006–2010)
