FW: next meeting WG-2 in Cape Town
Dost, Bernard (KNMI)
Recently I sent around the email I enclose to the members of the WG2 I
have in my own list.
I realized that I did not sent the email to the FDSN listserver and that
is what I did now.
If you receive the email twice, sorry.
Best regards
Bernard

Subject: next meeting WG-2 in Cape Town
Dear members of FDSN WG-2,
First of all: all the best for 2009 to you all.
According to the distributed schedule, we will have a meeting in Cape
Town on Monday jan 13 13:00-14:30.
As an agenda I propose a similar one as last meeting:
1. SEED issues
2. Real time data exchange- protocols and methods
3. Standard interface to link distributed centers
4. Redistribution of data
5. XML developments (QuakeML)
6. Proposal station codes
I enclose the latest version of the draft on station codes that I
received from Ray Buland.
Also, I enclose a request to discuss the possibility to register a mime
type for SEED data.
If we have too little time for a thorough discussion on the station
coding issue, we might proceed on
Tuesday in a separate meeting that is proposed by Ray.
Although I did book my travel and hotel for the conference, there is a
possibility that I might have to
cancel my trip at the last moment due to personal circumstances. If this
happens I will inform you
and maybe Tim can be the chairperson for the meeting instead.
Hope to see you all soon and sorry for being late with my email.
Regards
Bernard

Subject: Mime Type for FDSN Data
Dear Mr. Dost,
I'm taking the liberty of writing to you directly to follow up on this email thread that Tim Ahern forwarded to you.
We are asking for FDSN to assist us with the registration of a "mime-type" so that seed data files can be uniquely identified throughout the Internet in the same way that Word document or Apple movie files are.
When a file type has a universally recognized mime-type, then browsers and add-on programs can know how to handle the data. For example, the browser can launch programs or applets to view the data. Also, clicking on a link to a ".seed" or ".msd" file will invoke a dialog to save the file rather than attempt to display it as if it were a web page.
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, http://www.iana,org/ is the official body responsible for this registration.
The application form is not complicated, but the RFC documents should be reviewed. I would be happy to assist you or anyone in your organization who is also interested in registering the mime-type for seed files.
http://www.iana.org/cgi-bin/mediatypes.pl
Let me know if you have any questions.
Proost,
Hank

Dear Barnard
I am sorry for very late reply to your email. JAMSTEC will install ocean
bottom cable observation system offshore of Japanese Islands by the end
of this year. We hope to use mini-seed format to send realtime data from
the ocean bottom station to the data center. We would like to attach
several new blockettes to the mini-SEED data to monitor the sensor
status. The attached file explains our proposed format to mini-SEED.
Takeshi Nakamura of JAMSTEC will attend the WG meeting and hope to
explain this at the meeting. If you will not be able to attend the
meeting, please let me know. I will forward the email to Tim.
Best regards,
Seiji Tsuboi
