Abstract
The COSMOS virtual data center
http://db.cosmos-eq.org/ is a web accessible relational database for strong motion
data. This database was designed to make it simple for a user to retrieve strong motion data that are most relevant
to the needs of the user. At the same time it gives primary responsibility for quality control of the original data
to the agencies that collected and processed the data. The virtual data center has information on 95 earthquakes,
3180 accelerograms, and 570 station descriptions. For each earthquake the data center has tried to include all the
available accelerograms.
