An increasing number of web services providing convenient access to seismological data have become available in recent years. A huge effort at multiple levels was required to achieve this goal and the seismological community was engaged in the standardization of both data formats and web services. Although access to seismological data is much easier than in the past, users encounter problems because of the large number of web services, and due to the complexity of the discipline-specific data encodings. In addition, instead of adopting cross-disciplinary standards such as those by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), most seismological web services created their own standards, primarily those by the International Federation of Digital Seismograph Networks (FDSN). This article introduces “QQuake,” a plugin for QGIS—the Open Source Geographic Information System—that aims at making access to seismological data easier. The plugin is based on an Open Source code available on GitHub, and it is designed in a modular and customizable way, allowing users to easily include new web services.

近年来，提供​​方便访问地震数据的越来越多的Web服务已变得可用。为了实现此目标，需要在多个级别上付出巨大的努力，地震界参与了数据格式和Web服务的标准化。尽管访问地震数据比过去要容易得多，但是由于Web服务数量众多以及特定学科数据编码的复杂性，用户会遇到问题。此外，大多数地震Web服务没有采用开放地理空间联盟（OGC）的跨学科标准，而是创建了自己的标准，主要是由国际数字地震仪网络联合会（FDSN）制定的。本文介绍“ QQuake，“用于QGIS的插件-开源地理信息系统-旨在简化地震数据的访问。该插件基于GitHub上可用的开放源代码，并且以模块化和可定制的方式设计，使用户可以轻松地包含新的Web服务。
