TODO Depth of hypocenter with respect to the nominal sea level given by the WGS84 geoid (Earth Gravitational
Model, EGM96, Lemoine et al. 1998). Positive values indicate hypocenters below sea level. For shallow
hypocenters, the depth value can be negative. Note: Other standards use different conventions for depth
measurement. As an example, GSE 2.0, defines depth with respect to the local surface. If event data is
converted from other formats to QuakeML, depth values may have to be modified accordingly.

uncertainties allowed) that is most characteristic for the event.
Line 1657: Line 1674:
TODO The class ''Event'' describes a seismic event which does not necessarily need to be a tectonic earthquake. An event
is usually associated with one or more origins, which contain information about focal time and geographical
location of the event. Multiple origins can cover automatic and manual locations, a set of location from different
agencies, locations generated with different location programs and earth models, etc. Furthermore, an event
is usually associated with one or more magnitudes, and with one or more focal mechanism determinations. In
standard (bulletin) QuakeML-BED, [[#class_Origin|Origin]], [[#class_Magnitude|Magnitude]], [[#class_StationMagnitude|StationMagnitude]], and [[#class_FocalMechanism|FocalMechanism]]are child elements of
''Event''. In BED-RT (real-time) all these elements are on the same hierarchy level as child elements of [[#class_EventParameters|EventParameters]].

inside ''Event''.

Event [element]

The class Event describes a seismic event which does not necessarily need to be a tectonic earthquake. An event is usually associated with one or more origins, which contain information about focal time and geographical location of the event. Multiple origins can cover automatic and manual locations, a set of location from different agencies, locations generated with different location programs and earth models, etc. Furthermore, an event is usually associated with one or more magnitudes, and with one or more focal mechanism determinations. In standard (bulletin) QuakeML-BED, Origin, Magnitude, StationMagnitude, and FocalMechanismare child elements of Event. In BED-RT (real-time) all these elements are on the same hierarchy level as child elements of EventParameters. The association of origins, magnitudes, and focal mechanisms to a particular event is expressed using references inside Event.
