Report on the 2025 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 distributes services for data about seismogenic faulting proposed by the scientific community, solicited to the scientific community, or stemming from project partnerships that involved the use or development of the EDSF installation itself.
Portal maintenance and content updates
Portal updates:
The CMS “Joomla!” on which Seismofaults.eu web portal is based, has been updated to the current stable version.
The self-hosted web analytics application Matomo has definitely been implemented to complement Google Analytics and better comply with European privacy protection regulations.
The preview mapper was updated to include the new G-DIP dataset.
Dataset FAIRness meta tags were updated with the outcome of showing 100% achievement on the FUJI engine.
Datasets
-
G-DIP: The recently published G-DIP dataset has been added to the platform's portfolio of datasets.
-
GreDaSS: The web services related to the Greek Database of Seismogenic Sources ‘GreDaSS’ have been added to the Seismofaults portfolio. The link in the menu “Datasets” points to the web page of the data owner.
Documentation
-
Data management plans were updated. Data management plans for recently published datasets and forthcoming datasets have been added.
-
Added new items related to the G-DIP dataset in the Zotero Group Library.
-
Webservice preview mapper updated
-
Credits for funding projects have been updated on the relevant dataset pages.
-
DD/01/2026: Added the portal activity report 2025 (this document)
Portal access statistics
Access to the portal webpages is monitored via Matomo and Google Analytics 4 (GA4).
Unique visitor: The number of unduplicated visitors coming to your website. Every user is only counted once, even if they visit the website multiple times a day.
Visits: If a visitor enters your website or application for the first time, or if they visit a page (or take any action that is tracked in Matomo) more than 30 minutes after their last action, Matomo will record it in a new Visit.
Actions: An ‘Action’ is counted whenever a visitor:
-
visits a Page,
-
clicks on a Download or on an external link,
-
when a visitor searches on your website search engine,
-
whenever an event is tracked.
Bounces: A Bounce is when somebody visits a page on your website and then leaves without taking any other tracked action, such as clicking to another page or downloading something
Geographic distribution of site usage as monitored by GA4.

Access statistics of distributed services
The technologies used for publishing services have remained unchanged from the past year, as well as the microservices architecture based on Docker containers. Only software upgrades and general maintenance were carried out.
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 or a machine that performs a query to the dataset. Likewise, the terms "visit" and "hit" must be intended to be equivalent to queries. The term bandwidth refers to the total number of bytes (images and files) transferred by queries that, when analyzed in server access logs, provide an accurate picture of service usage.
Access statistics to the web services of the distributed datasets, conveniently grouped for simplicity. DISS All includes all versions from 3.2.0 to 3.3.1. EFSM20 includes the main dataset and the meshes.
Access statistics history, since March 2022, for all the web services of the distributed datasets.
Availability report of distributed services
The availability of distributed services is monitored using the open-source tool Nagios Core.
The statistics of the last quarter of 2025 provide a representative picture of the reliability of the services monitored
The services showing a lower percentage were added during the year, while the availability percentage is calculated on an annual basis.
