Processing Formats

The US Geological Survey (USGS) National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) defines a number of data exchange formats to communicate seismic event processing information between seismic data services and/or algorithms. These formats are defined using objects as defined in the JSON standard.

License

The purpose of this project is to:

1. Define formats to hold data representing the estimates of various types of seismic event detections.
2. Store the format definitions in a source controlled manner.
3. Host libraries used to generate and parse the formats

Defined formats:

Supporting objects:

• TravelTimeData Object - An object that contains information about travel time data returned as part of a travel time request.

Supported Languages:

Currently a library written in C++11 is planned, and a Java 1.7 jar file exist to generate and parse these formats.

Getting Started

Java 1.7 jar
