Software with TRiDaS Support

DCCD Web Application

The Digital Collaboratory for Cultural Dendrochronology (DCCD) is a European web-based repository of tree-ring data and metadata. Its initial content is realized in 2011. The content is derived from cultural-heritage and (palaeo-)ecological studies of objects and sites dating from 6000 BC to present times. The goals of the collaboratory are:

• Enhancing the international standardization and exchangebility of dendrochronological data and metadata;
• Developing an international, sustainable and integrated repository of these data and metadata;
• Unlocking these data and metadata for interdisciplinary and international follow-up research

dplR - Dendrochronology Program Library in R

Version 1.4.0 onwards of this popular library for R supports basic reading and writing of TRiDaS files. Although it can read all valid TRiDaS files, it currently supports just a subset of the metadata fields. Support for more fields will be gradually added in later releases so please keep your dplR up-to-date.

Tellervo

Tellervo is an open source, freely available, dendrochronology program for Windows, Mac and Linux. The main features include:

• Integrated database management system for both meta and ring-width data
• Support for importing and exporting 25 standard dendro file formats including TRiDaS, Tucson, Heidelberg and PAST4
• Interactive graphing
• Sample curation including barcoding
• 3D Satellite imagery mapping
• Multiple cross dating measures including T-scores, Weiserjahre and Trend

TRiCYCLE

Universal Tree Ring Data Converter. Converts data back and forth between 25 different dendro data formats. TRiCYCLE is available as a standalone desktop application for Windows, Mac and Linux. It is also available as a library for incorporation into other applications.

TRiDaBASE

MS Access based database for storing and editing dendro metadata.

In order to facilitate the switch to TRiDaS, a stand-alone database is made available through the DCCD website to all who wish to store detailed dendrochronological research information (metadata). The TRiDaS database reads TRiDaS XML, so that information downloaded from the DCCD repository becomes locally available for analysis. The database also allows export of its content to TRiDaS XML, for ingestion by the DCCD repository and/or exchange of data, metadata and controlled vocabularies within research networks.
