It would be best if the FDSN document covers some sujects broached in other documents since the SEED 2.4 manual was published. Being an OBS guy, I'm specifically thinking of two documents that I include below, but there are probably others as well.

Doc 1: White Paper on OBS data, specifically the sections on "Proposed modifications to the StationXML and miniSEED formats" and "OBS data/metadata standards and best practices"
Doc 2: : SERA deliverable on metadata problems and proposed solutions (chapter 4 is extracted from the White Paper)

Of course, this is a lot to read and I have tried to provide the OBS stuff, but the other sections of Doc 2 are probably closer to your specialities than to mine.

Does anyone know of any other documents that should be parsed? The idea is that a good FDSN document could allow these documents to be greatly simplified, as they are in many cases responses to elements lacking from the present documentation.

By the way, I call my ephemeral networks "XX" so I probably saw the document mentioning this at some point, but I could never re-find it when I needed to justify my actions!

Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing. OBS do provide unique challenges for sure.

Lots of this feels like it needs to be taken care of within either a stationxml revision and/or future miniseed3 spec. Perhaps filing issues on the stationxml github would be helpful? A stationxml revision will probably be needed at some point to take advantage of this spec, and so having issues lined up in github makes it more likely they can be addressed at the same time.

Interesting that the structual monitoring part of that document has:

HN[Z23] for orthogonal sensors with horizontal sensors oriented in the principal directions of the structure (standard practice in structural monitoring),

as opposed to the Z12 convention.

Oh well....
