ISIDe, the Italian Seismological Instrumental and Parametric Database, contains parameters of earthquake locations performed by the INGV surveillance service. It consists of hundreds thousands events occurred in the Italian region since January 1985. To locate earthquakes more than 500 stations of the National Seismic Network (RSN) were used, a network operated by Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) with the contribution from other regional and international networks operated by several providers. ISIDe contains the Italian Seismic Bulletin (BSI), which reports earthquake locations and magnitudes revised by data analysts. Procedures to compile BSI evolved with time, and the type of magnitudes attributed by analysts changed as a consequence of the switch from analogue to a digital network, and from one-component to broadband stations. Nowadays analysts review earthquakes with M>=1.5 only. In addition to its web portal, ISIDe may be queried using an FDSN-event compliant web service providing detailed parameters encoded in QuakeML, an XML based format reporting uncertainties and all alternative locations and magnitudes assessed, from both automatic determinations and reviewed ones. The web service may output other, less complete, formats as well, such as plain text, KML or Atom. An FDSN-dataselect compliant web service may be used to retrieve waveforms from ISIDE that will output full SEED encoded data.
