Abstract
GNS Science Te Pū Ao, through its GeoNet programme, operates a multidisciplinary sensor network to monitor geological hazards in Aotearoa New Zealand. Data from more than 800 permanent monitoring sites are continuously collected, transformed and delivered to a range of end users.Managing multidisciplinary instrument metadata is a key task of the GeoNet datacentre. In 2017 GeoNet moved away from using a corporate relational database to using a modern and novel approach to manage metadata. All of this metadata is freely available and treated as a dataset (DOI: 10.21420/0VY2-C144) to give users access to whatever metadata they need and to improve visibility and usability.This system is at the core of the GeoNet data pipeline and allows the data transformation process, from the field to end users, to be automated. The system uses a software development approach: a code versioning system based on git and hosted at “github.com/GeoNet/delta” which allows instrument metadata and their changes in time to be peer reviewed, version controlled and checked for consistency. Equipment and installation details are stored as a set of CSV files and short XML seismic response file segments. This allows for easy access and maintenance, with no proprietary external software needed to decode or examine the information.
