TAT has been developed within the framework of Eurovoc project for the specific purpose of translating Eurovoc into Czech. Therefore its functions are limited and it is not typical thesaurus management software (TMS).
In particular, TAT may be used for::
- the creation of new Eurovoc language versions
- the creation of a language version of another thesaurus
Within a limited scope TAT can be used for:
- Eurovoc administration
- the administration of any multilingual thesaurus
Limitations of TAT as regards using it as a TMS:
- long system response
- limited functions (e.g. insufficient import/export facilities, etc.)
