Report on the 2023 activity of the EDSF installation


The European Databases of Seismogenic Faults (EDSF) installation operates under the auspices of the EPOS TCS-Seismology work program, particularly those of the EFEHR Consortium, and considers the principles expressed by the EPOS Data Policy. EDSF offers services that distribute data about seismogenic faulting proposed by the scientific community or solicited to the scientific community or stemming from project partnerships that involved the use or development of the EDSF installation itself.

Portal access statistics

Access to the portal webpages is monitored via Google Analytics. As of April 13th, the portal data processing switched from Universal Analytics to Google Analytics 4 (GA4). The two reports below show the usage statistics before and after this switch.

Portfolio of distributed services


The portal distributes 42 OGC WFS layers and 56 OGC WMS layers of three different datasets, including multiple versions, as listed in the table below.

Access statistics of distributed services


Access to the distributed web services is monitored using AWStats software. Notice that, differently from web pages, in the case of web services, the term "visitor" refers to a user that performs a query to the dataset. Likewise, the terms "visit" and "hit" must be intended to be equivalent to queries. The term "bandwidth" is the total number of bytes (images and files downloaded) transferred by queries.

Usage of web services



As of December 4th, the DISS Web Feature Services of the version "current" started being used by the new DISS web user interface. Each DISS version includes an access quota to the “current” concurrently active version, presently DISS version 3.3.0.
