RefDB recognizes all tags and synonyms as of Reference Manager
8.01. This is the most recent "specification" of RIS that I have
access to. RIS is weird and ugly, no doubt.

The RIS spec is not entirely comprehensible to me with regard to the
levels of bibliographic information. My guess is that TI/T1 is
equivalent to the title at the analytic level (work in bibx speak),
BT/T2 is equivalent to the title at the monographic level
(publication), and T3 should then map to the series level (set). This
is how RefDB currently deals with these tags.

regards,
Markus
