The IRIS DMC maintains a vast database of station siting, instrumentation, and earthquake information
which serve to enhance and support our waveform data archives. The descriptions below highlight how you can query on our metadata holdings as well as request SEED metadata.

Dataless SEED
What is a dataless SEED volume?
A dataless SEED volume contains the metadata for a request only, including
instrument responses, instrument coordinates, compression type, etc.. This
dataless volume can be used in combination with a miniSEED volume (as extracted
from the BUD filesystem) with rdseed.
A dataless, by definition, contains no "data", in the sense that
no waveform data are included, only headers.
Getting a Dataless SEED File:
1. Generate a request for a dataless using the online
form.
(select dataless SEED under Data Type)
2. Submit a BREQ_FAST style request to dataless@iris.washington.edu from your
mail client.
3. Get a dataless from the BUD
Query Interface.
4. Download
network dataless SEED files from the IRIS
FTP site.
