Dear members of FDSN WG III

At the 2017 FDSN WGIII meetings the minutes reflect the following about adding the Availability Service to SeisComp3. (Bold Italicized text is from the draft minutes)
Waveform data availability service

Chad Trabant hoped that the working group would adopt the “waveform data availability” webservice as an official service.

Tim Ahern indicated that there may be a SeisComP3 solution. John Clinton suggested that it was more related to the EIDA data nodes than to SeisComP3 installations. He also mentioned that the metrics calculated should also be the same. [Note: the availability web service returns lists of start stop times of a timeseries. Metrics can be derived from this information (e.g. number of gaps, % available, etc) but it is not currently an agreed upon metric that is defined by any FDSN member. ]

Florian Haslinger asked about what the service produces, Chad Trabant outlined that it was a raw list of time segments with start and end times at a fine grain level.

Reinoud Sleeman suggested that this was related to the QC metrics service, Tim Ahern thought that they were related but slightly different in the information beingprovided. Reinoud Sleeman also indicated that it would likely only be the EIDA nodes as it would not be so easy for base SeisComP3 installations. Ahern will investigate if the data availability service can be added to SeisComp3 to benefit a broader cross section of the FDSN community.

================================

In last year’s IRIS budget there was funding available that addressed this issue. IRIS contracted with gempa to implement this capability. The work has been completed and it will be available as an extension in subsequent releases of SeisComP3. The purpose for this email to WGIII is to see if WGIII will recommend the availability service becoming a standard FDSN service. Details about the service as implemented by IRIS several years ago can be found at http://service.iris.edu/irisws/availability/1/.

If adopted by WGIII gempa will make it an FDSN standard web service just like dataselect, station, and event. If approved, IRIS will begin using the fdsn-availability service and eliminate the IRIS service endpoint. If approved IRIS will undertake the documentation in the FDSN space but it will be based on the existing documentation for the current IRIS availability service. Obviously we will be happy to accommodate suggestions from the FDSN when adopted by WG III.

More information can be found at the recent IRIS DS Newsletter found at http://ds.iris.edu/ds/newsletter/vol20/no3/504/the-new-seiscomp3-waveform-availability-service/

The technical work has been completed by gempa but I seek your vote to adopt the availability service as an FDSN standard. Please register your vote by January 31, 2019.

Thanks for your consideration

      Just a comment to the FDSN Working Group.

      I am glad to see the approvals recommending the inclusion of the availability service as an FDSN standard. One thing we have observed here at IRIS is that having ready access to precise data discovery has greatly improved the efficiency and speed of our data access tools. I look forward to seeing a specification develop that is suitable for the entirety of our international colleagues.

    Dear members of FDSN WG III
    At the 2017 FDSN WGIII meetings the minutes reflect the following about adding the Availability Service to SeisComp3. (Bold Italicized text is from the draft minutes)
    Waveform data availability service
    Chad Trabant hoped that the working group would adopt the “waveform data availability” webservice as an official service.
    Tim Ahern indicated that there may be a SeisComP3 solution. John Clinton suggested that it was more related to the EIDA data nodes than to SeisComP3 installations. He also mentioned that the metrics calculated should also be the same. [Note: the availability web service returns lists of start stop times of a timeseries. Metrics can be derived from this information (e.g. number of gaps, % available, etc) but it is not currently an agreed upon metric that is defined by any FDSN member. ]
    Florian Haslinger asked about what the service produces, Chad Trabant outlined that it was a raw list of time segments with start and end times at a fine grain level.
    Reinoud Sleeman suggested that this was related to the QC metrics service, Tim Ahern thought that they were related but slightly different in the information beingprovided. Reinoud Sleeman also indicated that it would likely only be the EIDA nodes as it would not be so easy for base SeisComP3 installations. Ahern will investigate if the data availability service can be added to SeisComp3 to benefit a broader cross section of the FDSN community.

    Dear all,

    RESIF supports the principle of adding "Availability" to the official FDSN web services.

    We think however that we need to go through the formal approval not only of the service, but also on its actual specifications, including for example details of output format or metrics.

    Best regards,
    Claudio Satriano

      Aloha, everyone.

      USGS-HVO supports the addition of the proposed web service, provided it
      doesn't compromise resources needed by the existing web services. Would
      the new web service only work in SeisComP3, or might it be compatible with
      other systems as well, such as AQMS? ANSS networks are increasingly using
      FDSN web services to query local AQMS repositories, so having the parallel
      ability as SeisComP3 would be most welcome.

      Thank you,
      Brian Shiro

        Hi Brian

        The service could work with any system. IRIS has paid for this support in SeisComp3 but someone could add this capability to the AQMS system. IRIS runs our own internally developed system and does not rely on SeisComp3.

        As far as I know no other system is in place to do this at this time but it just takes someone to step up and pay for the development.

          NCEDC had tools to provide precise waveform inventory info from AQMS Waveform tables.
          We plan to implement an appropriate FDSN waveform inventory service using these tools
          as the spec becomes finalized.

          Note that the problem may be a bit more time intensive if your archive has
          event waveform snippets rather than just continuous data. There will likely
          be overlapping waveforms for multiple events that will have to be merged into
          single timespans. The NCEDC, which houses both event and continuous waveforms,
          will have to address this issue.

          Tim, does IRIS precompute and store the continuous timespans for each
          channel from the archive info of each contiguous segment of data
          being archived (presumably on a daily basis), or does it perform this
          operation on-the-fly for each availability request?

          Inquiring minds want to know...

    Dear WG III members,

    MedNet / Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (Italy) supports the principle of waveform availability as an FDSN services.
    We understand this service would provide a list of time span information.

    Like other EIDA nodes we would like to see a process to endorse the specifications.
    We (INGV) anticipate that this process can be rather brief, would provide some necessary clarifications and ideally ensure maximum coherency/consistency with respect to existing services.

    Best Regards,
    Peter Danecek

He also mentioned that the metrics calculated should also be the same. [Note: the availability web service returns lists of start stop times of a timeseries. Metrics can be derived from this information (e.g. number of gaps, % available, etc) but it is not currently an agreed upon metric that is defined by any FDSN member. ]

    Florian Haslinger asked about what the service produces, Chad Trabant outlined that it was a raw list of time segments with start and end times at a fine grain level.

    Reinoud Sleeman suggested that this was related to the QC metrics service, Tim Ahern thought that they were related but slightly different in the information beingprovided. Reinoud Sleeman also indicated that it would likely only be the EIDA nodes as it would not be so easy for base SeisComP3 installations. Ahern will investigate if the data availability service can be added to SeisComp3 to benefit a broader cross section of the FDSN community.

    ================================

    In last year’s IRIS budget there was funding available that addressed this issue. IRIS contracted with gempa to implement this capability. The work has been completed and it will be available as an extension in subsequent releases of SeisComP3. The purpose for this email to WGIII is to see if WGIII will recommend the availability service becoming a standard FDSN service. Details about the service as implemented by IRIS several years ago can be found at http://service.iris.edu/irisws/availability/1/.

    If adopted by WGIII gempa will make it an FDSN standard web service just like dataselect, station, and event. If approved, IRIS will begin using the fdsn-availability service and eliminate the IRIS service endpoint. If approved IRIS will undertake the documentation in the FDSN space but it will be based on the existing documentation for the current IRIS availability service. Obviously we will be happy to accommodate suggestions from the FDSN when adopted by WG III.

    More information can be found at the recent IRIS DS Newsletter found at http://ds.iris.edu/ds/newsletter/vol20/no3/504/the-new-seiscomp3-waveform-availability-service/

    The technical work has been completed by gempa but I seek your vote to adopt the availability service as an FDSN standard. Please register your vote by January 31, 2019.

    Thanks for your consideration

    Hi WG3 Community,

    I support the idea to install this FDSN web-service.

    Cheers and a nice weekend,

    Dear members of FDSN WG III

    At the 2017 FDSN WGIII meetings the minutes reflect the following about adding the Availability Service to SeisComp3. (Bold Italicized text is from the draft minutes)
    Waveform data availability service

    Dear all,

    GEOSCOPE recommends the availability service becoming a standard FDSN service. As other WGIII members, we encourage a precise definition of the specifications associated with this service.

    Best regards,
    Martin Vallée
