Tag Information Management System (TIMS) Workbench allows user to perform/view tagging on a particular document. Since tag information is stored separately from original documents and managed using an external database software, various different types of tags for the same document can be added. The system also keeps track of the Audit Trail or History, i.e., the date and time, the user or system that performed the tagging etc. TIMS has the facility to export a document from TIMS, at that time all the tag information will be converted to XML format and embedded within the document for portability. Similarly, it is possible to import either an untagged or a tagged XML document into TIMS. TIMS also has facility to search logically for tags, which we call Interval Operations. They are XML specific text/data mining operations which can be performed over TIMS document. The operations can be done over open documents or in batch mode, selecting the files from a list.
TIMS specification and the software version 1.5 (which works on Windows or Linux environment and requires Jdk version 1.3) are available for download.
