The next generation of powerful radio and millimeter/submillimeter observatories (e.g. EVLA, ALMA, & Herschel) require extensive resources to help identify spectral line transitions. We describe the compilation of the most complete spectral line database currently assembled for this purpose. The Splatalogue is a tool available to the astronomical community that is a comprehensive transition-resolved compilation of observed, measured and calculated spectral lines databases available including JPL, CDMS, Lovas/NIST, Lovas SLAIM, the Toyama Microwave Atlas and the observational data from the Ohio State University. To these databases we have run diagnostics for overlaps on transitions, frequencies, formulae and chemical names and have come up with a common way to display and designate each individual species. Splatalogue also contains atomic and recombination lines, template spectra, and is completely VO-compliant, queryable under the IVOA SLAP standard. It also recommends one frequency for use by the astronomical community for each observed transition of known astronomical molecules. The details of the database, how users can get access to the database through the php web interface or via an API, and how it will be used for the ALMA archive, observing tool and data reduction packages will be presented.
