Observatories and Research Facilities for European Seismology (ORFEUS) is the European initiative for the coordination of broadband seismology in Europe and the Mediterranean area. The organization is unique in its field, because it does not operate any stations, but acts as an intermediate between data users and data producers. The core activity of ORFEUS is the operation of a data center, which archives seismic waveform data of large seismic events and offers both off-line (CD-ROM) and on-line (Internet, WWW) access to both the archived data and global near real time Spyder® data. ORFEUS coordination function is largely realized through its working groups and web site, which presently provide, among others, station siting and equipment overviews, technical information and support and a Seismological Software Library (SSL). Cooperation with other centers, for example, on data formats, is coordinated through the Federation of Digital Seismograph Networks (FDSN). Future developments emphasize improved data access through the Internet (WWW, Automatic Data Request Manager, NetDC protocol) and a regional version of the Global Spyder®: EuroSpyder. Regularly, work meetings and workshops are organized to discuss future developments and its impact on ORFEUS.
