GTD:全球恐怖主義研究資料庫（Global Terrorism Database）是一個開放原始碼的資料庫網站，這裡記錄了從1970年到2013年世界各地的恐怖事件資訊，並且不斷的更新各種恐怖事件，維護和平，人人有責。
在這個世界上可能沒有比恐怖主義更令人痛恨的，但也可能沒有比恐怖主義更令人困惑的事物了。從世界範圍來看，在過去十年中，2006-2008年是世界恐怖活動的一個高峰。自2008年以來，世界恐怖主義出現緩和跡象，有關熱點地區和國家的恐怖活動，在活動數量和人員傷亡方面都有所下降，但南亞、尤其是巴基斯坦的恐怖活動有惡化趨勢。
通過這個資料庫你可以瞭解到世界各地所發生的事件，和平是人們追求的生活目標，保護世界和平就需要從身邊做起，發揚正能量，維護社會的和平安定人人有責。
The Global Terrorism Database (GTD) is an open-source database including information on terrorist events around the world from 1970 through 2013 (with additional annual updates planned for the future). Unlike many other event databases, the GTD includes systematic data on domestic as well as transnational and international terrorist incidents that have occurred during this time period and now includes more than 125,000 cases. For each GTD incident, information is available on the date and location of the incident, the weapons used and nature of the target, the number of casualties, and–when identifiable–the group or individual responsible.
Statistical information contained in the Global Terrorism Database is based on reports from a variety of open media sources. Information is not added to the GTD unless and until we have determined the sources are credible. Users should not infer any additional actions or results beyond what is presented in a GTD entry and specifically, users should not infer an individual associated with a particular incident was tried and convicted of terrorism or any other criminal offense. If new documentation about an event becomes available, an entry may be modified, as necessary and appropriate.
The National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) makes the GTD available via this online interface in an effort to increase understanding of terrorist violence so that it can be more readily studied and defeated.
