Аnnotation: Since 2010, Kamchatka Branch of Federal Research Centre of “United Geophysical Service of RAS” has been developing the Seismological Data Information System (SDIS). Its aim is to integrate into a unified information field all seismological data obtained as a result of seismic monitoring of Kamchatka, accelerate and facilitate daily activity due to maximum automation of collection, systematization, analysis, management and access to seismological data based on modern information technologies. At the time of publication (2020) SDIS represents a set of subsystems, each of them providing a specific area of activity within the seismic monitoring: automatic generation of a Bulletin of the KB GS RAS; addition of the bulletin with various earthquake parameters provided by world seismological agencies (ISC, NEIC, GCMT, etc.); automatic generation of waveforms from continuous records of seismometric channels; automated collection and systematization of macroseismic data; preparation of data for calculating the mechanisms of earthquake sources by the signs of the first arrivals of body waves and saving the calculation results; maintenance of automated control and adjustment of data processing in the SDIS; providing of the convenient access to the SDIS data via the Internet (http://sdis.emsd.ru) for various categories of users; visualization of all entered data using an interactive map. This article contains the description of database organization, the key functions and features of the operation of individual subsystems of the SDIS. At present, with the ongoing work to improve the SDIS, it is used not only for seismological studies, but also for solving a wide range of other scientific problems within the framework of integrated geophysical monitoring of the Kuril-Kamchatka region.
