The Joint Nordic database for runic inscriptions or Pan-Nordic Runic Text Database or Rundata is a project at Uppsala University which was started January 1, 1993. The project's goal is to comprehensively collect runic inscriptions from both inside and outside of Scandinavia for future research. Every stone is identified with an ID code which consists of up to three parts. The first part describes the origin of the inscription. For Swedish inscriptions this contains an abbreviation for the region, and, for Extra-Nordic inscriptions, an abbreviation for the country (not ISO 3166).
