Modern file formats for Seismology
The Adaptable Seismic Data Format (ASDF) is a modern file format intended for researchers and analysts. It combines the capability to create comprehensive data sets including all necessary meta information with high-performance parallel I/O for the most demanding use cases. Implementations for C/Fortran as well as Python are available.
ASDF Definition
SEIS-PROV is a standard to describe data history in seismology. It is an extension of W3C PROV and can be used to track, store, and exchange the origin as well as the applied processing of data.
SEIS-PROV Definition
Every single component is open source and developed on GitHub. We are open for discussions and help is always welcome!
SeismicData Github OrganizationThe full functionality is divided into several components which are listed here. Most of these are available at the SeismicData organization on Github.
