For more than 30 years seismological data centers have worked together within the International Federation of Digital Seismograph Networks (FDSN; www.fdsn.org) in order to define and adopt standards to support seamless access to data and metadata by the global seismological research, monitoring and education communities. These include standards for waveform data (miniSEED) and metadata (StationXML), to detailed specifications for many web services supporting different types of products and information to support data discovery, distribution, quality control and more. As a result of these standards, users have been able to find and access data from FDSN data centers across the world in a consistent manner for many years. Moreover, in the last 10 years FDSN took the initiative to define recommendations for the identification of datasets (networks) via Persistent Identifiers (e.g. DOIs). DOIs were found to be the most suitable type of identifier to properly acknowledge seismic networks because existing resolution services and familiarity make them more easily accepted by publishers and provide a starting point for community involvement. After ten years from the first recommendation published by FDSN, studies on the FAIRness of data (e.g. adoption of FAIR Principles) show a clear relation between the adoption of these standards and recommendations and its visibility and impact in the scientific results. In recent years user demand for reasonable access to big data volumes has grown dramatically. This change is largely driven by new technologies (e.g. DAS and nodal seismic systems) allowing the acquisition of data in much higher resolution than previously and to Machine Learning methods becoming more popular. This demand will require new ways to access and process data. To address this, the development of new standards are on the roadmap and already in progress within the FDSN. These new standards include modern, cloud-based storage systems, versatile formats for data and metadata, asynchronous data access, in-cloud processing, Quality Assurance (QA) and common Authentication and Authorization Infrastructure (AAI). Our presentation will outline our current standards and achievements as well as the envisioned framework and roadmap for the development of new services. It will also provide an opportunity for stakeholders - such as users, instrument manufacturers, data and service providers, to engage and shape the vision.
