The TDE-SOURCE archive of experimental data is a subset of the TRC SOURCE archive. The TRC SOURCE [1,2,3] archive was designed and built as an extensive relational data archival system for experimental thermophysical and thermochemical properties reported in the world's scientific literature. The SOURCE archive now includes nearly 5.4 million numerical property values with uncertainties estimated at TRC for more than 29,000 pure compounds, 45,000 binary mixtures, 12,000 ternary mixtures, and 6400 reaction systems. Its structure is based principally on the Gibbs phase rule and complies with all the requirements necessary to serve as a comprehensive data storage facility of experimental property data for implementation of the dynamic data evaluation concept. At present, the rate of collection of numerical property values is near 0.5 million per year. It is estimated that TRC SOURCE contains ~80% of the available experimental thermodynamic data for organic compounds.
