Title :
Accessing a multi-terabyte seismological archive using a metadata portal
Abstract :
Seismological data are voluminous. Typical researchers cannot be expected to be able to search through the quantity of seismograms to find those that might contribute to their research topic. For this reason, metadata, stored in a relational database management system is used to assist seismologists in determining which pieces of the seismological archive may possess the information needed for their research topic
