Feature Notes

• back-end software: SeisComP3
• catalog request parameter not implemented (information not available in SeisComP)
• contributor request parameter is mapped to the agencyID
• updatedafter request parameter not implemented: The last modification time in SeisComP is tracked on the object level. If a child of an object is updated the update time is not propagated to all parents. In order to check if a station was updated all children must be evaluated recursively. This operation would be much to expensive.
