Module handling event metadata

This module provides a class hierarchy to consistently handle event metadata. This class hierarchy is closely modelled after the de-facto standard format QuakeML.

Note

For handling additional information not covered by the QuakeML standard and how to output it to QuakeML see the ObsPy Tutorial.

Classes & Functions

`catalog.Catalog`	This class serves as a container for `Event` objects.
`event.Event`	The class Event describes a seismic event which does not necessarily need to be a tectonic earthquake.
`origin.Origin`	This class represents the focal time and geographical location of an earthquake hypocenter, as well as additional meta-information.
`magnitude.Magnitude`	Describes a magnitude which can, but does not need to be associated with an origin.
`origin.Pick`	A pick is the observation of an amplitude anomaly in a seismogram at a specific point in time.
`magnitude.Amplitude`	This class represents a quantification of the waveform anomaly, usually a single amplitude measurement or a measurement of the visible signal duration for duration magnitudes.
`source.FocalMechanism`	This class describes the focal mechanism of an event.
`source.MomentTensor`	This class represents a moment tensor solution for an event.
