I was also looking for some documentation and came up empty. (01)
>From the screen shots, this looks more like what Apelon previously
called MyCroft. MyCroft was a terminology browser. I can't really tell
from the screen shots if it has additional capability. The DTS editor
I have used is a terminology builder and mapper with very few rules
built in and no way for the average editor to put in rules. I used it
to build a public health taxonomy (ISA), add synonyms and natural
language definitions and create 'associations' to standard
terminologies such as SNOMED CT, MeSH, ICD-9-CM and LOINC. It had the
capability to create new association types. Apelon was reluctant to
call them relations or relationships. We could also add new property
types. The ability to add new association and property types was
limited by user role. (02)
Compared to Apelon's TDE (Terminology Development Environment) which is
DL-based, the DTS was very 'loose'. Since there were no rules, we
developed some SQL queries for QA. (03)

System open source (05)
Kathy and Peter, (06)
I agree that the Distributed Terminology System sounds good,
but I have not been able to find anything on either the
Apelon site or the SourceForge site that says what it does. (07)
There is an FAQ, but it only says that Apelon is making DTS
available, but it doesn't give any information about what it does.
The documentation link on SourceForge has nothing (a not uncommon
feature of many SourceForge projects). (08)
From the name, I assume that DTS distributes terminology, but
I couldn't find any manuals, white papers, tutorials, or even
examples of what it does. The best I could find is one screen
shot, which was too small to be readable. (09)
