Welcome to NorDB's documentation!
=================================

NorDB is a python program for saving metadata information surrounding seismic events. The database format is based on the nordic format here described by `International Seismic Center`_. The program stores all event and station related metadata into a postgres database described in :ref:`database_structure`. The database can also read meta-information about Stations and their equipment in `css format`_.
