The Scandinavian Runic-text Data Base (Swedish: Samnordisk runtextdatabas) is a project involving the creation and maintenance of a database of transliterated runic inscriptions.
[1] The origin of the Rundata project was a 1986 database of Swedish inscriptions at Uppsala University for use in the Scandinavian Languages Department.
[2] At a seminar in 1990 it was proposed to expand the database to cover all Nordic runic inscriptions, but funding for the project was not available until a grant was received in 1992 from the Axel och Margaret Ax:son Johnsons foundation.
Each entry includes the original text,in a transliterated form, its location, English and Swedish translations, information about the stone itself, et cetera.
This system has its origin in the book Sveriges runinskrifter (English: "Runic Inscriptions of Sweden") Most of the time, the Period/Datering information in Rundata just gives the date as V, meaning Viking Age, which is very broad.
