We're doing something similar here at the Met - each night we refresh our DAM (MediaBin) with TMS object metadata, and load new & updated images from the DAM into TMS. That said, accomplishing all this required a fair amount of programming as this is not something that was supported "out-of-the-box"

I wouldn't say it speaks to TMS with ease -- there was a considerable programming effort involved by our IS staff -- but we are currently using them in tandem, doing a weekly TMS data copy to Luna for object metadata and an automated daily image load/link from Luna to TMS. We looked at several systems in 2005 and did not find one that made this kind of thing easy, but it's doable if your have people with time and skills.
