From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Think about an index at the back of a book. And then think about a computer file (eg. Word document). All an 'index file' is is an index from the back of the book but on a computer.
This wiki is not just an index; it is the whole database.
Having it pointed out to me makes it obvious now that TIF is not a very good name at all...
