I'm not sure if this message made it originally, so my apologies if anyone
receives this twice...

~~~

Hi all,

In regards to http://service.iris.edu/irisws/timeseries/1/application.wadl ...

I'm just wondering about two things:

1. Is it a problem that the taper query has 'name="tapper"', or does the
name get reinterpreted internally?

2. Why are the parameters under 'application//method//request//param'
rather than
'application//resources//resource//resource//method//request//param' as
with "distaz" or "sacpz", for example? As far as I can tell, timeseries is
the only oddity.

thanks,
Andy

    Thanks Andy. I’ll take a look at it.
    The tapper is certainly a typo.
    Just curious. What are you doing with the wadl?

      Hi Bruce,

      OK, good to know.

      In regards to the .wadl files... I'm developing a package for the R
      programming language, and I use the wadl files to generate a list of query
      parameters for a given webservice (so I don't have to remember them, or
      visit the webpage each time). If you're interested the code is being
      developed here: https://github.com/abarbour/irisws

      thanks,
      Andy

        I wonder if we should at all make mention of our R code for MUSTANG? I don't think that Jon has made his version of the code public yet.

        Just thinking out loud. Maybe better to keep it internal until we start talking about a distributed MUSTANG-lite. Andy might feel better about using a WADL for his stuff anyway.

          I can't say I wouldn't be curious to see an 'official' set of R codes...
          I'll stay tuned.

            Hi Andy,

            To fill in some gaps there, we have an internal data processing system that uses R and a library/module has been developed to fetch data from our web service interfaces. We’ve discussed the possibility of releasing it but have not come to any conclusion yet. I imagine it might best work as a collaborative development/maintenance, where we release what we’ve got and let the community of R users build on it. I’m curious how many R users would use a web service access library?

            If you do end up creating web service access code for R you might consider releasing it in SeisCode (https://seiscode.iris.washington.edu/) or having a bookmark in SeisCode to help folks find your work.

            regards,
            Chad

              Hi Chad,

              Thanks for the info.

              The collaborative approach seems more in line with the spirit of R, which
              has seen exponential growth in user-contributions (see, for example,
              http://r4stats.com/2013/03/19/r-2012-growth-exceeds-sas-all-time-total/).
              If you do plan to release it, I would argue for CRAN (
              http://cran.us.r-project.org/).

              It's difficult to say how may people might use it; there are seismologists
              that actively maintain packages though (e.g., Jonathan Lees).

              -Andy
