1. National Center for Engineering Strong Motion Data Build on, expand and further integrate the Engineering Data Center developed under CISN (CGS and USGS) Improve efficiency in use of State and Federal funds Center Management Group (parallels PMG of CISN) Advisory Committee (parallels this Group and SMIAC)

2. NCESMD Existing EDC reviewed over several years with SMIAC committee and subcommittees, and at engineering and seismological conferences - comments solicited, input ongoing Current EDC has significant engineering customer base: –1,800 registered users, identify their data usage purpose –University instructors, students, geotechnical and structural firms, and researchers –Nearly 5,000 downloads of data or station information in last 6 months => So build on the development, growth and user input

3. Key Elements of Engineering Data Center 1) Central Product-Generating Agency –CGS, Sacramento –USGS, Menlo Park (possibly certain ANSS regions ) 2) Customers –Engineers, engineering seismologists –Mostly not concerned with geographic boundaries –Center Goal – Effective, user friendly, one-stop shopping in viewing and obtaining data 3) Data Source/Region –Credit important. Quality assurance of data, metadata, and maintenance of stations is critical. 4) Funding Agencies –Partners and developers

4. Existing Level 1 Page

5. Level 1 - National NEIC CISN

6. Level 1 - Regional UNR UUSS

7. Existing Level 2 Page (Entry for each Earthquake)

8. NCESMD PNW Region New Level 2 MTW

9. Existing Level 3 Page (Info on an Earthquake’s Recordings)

10. NCESMD New Level 3

11. Level 4 a) Information on Stations (metadata-critical)

12. Level 4 b) Information on Station /Sensor Layout

13. Level 4 c) Graphic Presentation of Record

14. NCESMD – Region Interconnection NCESMDCISNIMWOther.. Entry Page Level 2 – List of Earthquakes Level 3 – List of Records Level 4 – Record/Sta Info Level 1

15. Existing Search Page

16. NCESMD New Search page A service supported by the USGS and CGS For Additional Search Options and International Data:

17. CISN EDC - to - NCESMD Super Shuttle Analogy –Currently have 6-cylinder operating fleet vehicles –To serve more customers better, need to augment vehicles with another seat, 2 more cylinders, and a GPS system NCESMD will increase capacity and increase functionality

18. Steps Needed Add National Web page for NCESMD Add Regional Web page capability, solicit Region interest in hosting Regional pages Decisions/Actions: –Level 1 on various servers, link to Level 2 –Level 2 and above to be on multiple, parallel servers (Akamai?) Load more metadata – critical to meet ANSS Performance Standards
