A high-level record structure for the international communication of 14C data bases is proposed. The record structure is based on the high-level communication format first proposed by the authors at the 23rd International Symposium on Archaeometry, Naples, 1983 and does not require the abandonment of existing systems. A description is given of an implementation of the high-level system at Harwell, with examples of retrieval in an international format (the Radiocarbon date list format) and a keyword-organized local format.

Since May 1952 the Isotope Physics Laboratory in Groningen has dated ca 13,000 14C samples. Due to lack of time the publication of date lists in Radiocarbon ceased in 1971 and probably will not be resumed in the standard way. Most dates have been published but they are scattered over a great variety of books and articles.
