Vol. 484 (2024): Using obsinfo to organize and format OBS-B metadata
Abstract
The larger amount of data made available today is one of the most important factors driving innovation but not the only one. In particular, standardization of data and metadata
formats is widely considered an essential goal for the scientific community to pursue. This report presents how a new publicly available tool for organizing and formatting
metadata for Ocean Bottom Seismometers (OBS), obsinfo, has been used to organize and format metadata for INGV OBS Lab OBS-B (https://www.ct.ingv.it/index.php/risorse-e-servizi/laboratori/325-laboratorio-obs) The OBS & Earth Lab, located at the Gibilmanna Geophysical Observatory near Cefalù (Palermo - ITALY), has as its main mission the design, construction and management of a fleet of underwater seismic instruments. The software, developed by RESIF (https://gitlab.com/resif/smm/obsinfo) breaking down the metadata into smaller and reusable pieces of information, speeds up the process of creating StationXML files for OBS and other kinds of geophysical instruments. Besides assembling a useful StationXML file for the OBS-B, the work done has confirmed that obsinfo can be a valuable tool for managing station metadata.
